Prefer embedded episode information over filenames

[Samuli Valavuo]

My problem is that my setup (docker upgraded from earlier for a while now) doesn't save setting "Prefer embedded episode information over filenames". I can select it, but when I go to Library settings again, it is unselected. This is annoying and makes my show episodes descriptions show up in wrong language.
Is there a way to get it stay enabled?

Just asking to verify, you scrolled down and clicked save? If so, could you open your browser's developer console and check if there are any browser errors when you do click save? I've seen this before where certain menus are broken for some reason.

If this is the case, you could try recreating the container to ensure that the volatile portion of your docker setup doesn't have some sort of corrupt jellyfin-web.

Code:

docker compose down jellyfin
docker compose up -d jellyfin --force-recreate

On my system --force-recreate hasn't worked recently. If that is the case for you (jellyfin just starts without re-pulling the image) you can use this command to prune old images and VFS's.

Code:

docker compose down jellyfin
docker system prune -a
docker compose up -d jellyfin

Hi!
Thanks for your reply!

Well, actually my installation is from Asustor AppCentral. Jellyfin is running in my NAS -system. I have done also updating/upgradin via portainer on the same system. Everything else seems to work, but that one checkbox won't save state I put it in.
There is no save button, but ok -button at the end of library configuration page. And pressing that seems to save everything else but that precise setting. :-(
There is no errors on Web Developer console. I'm quite baffled.

Hi!

I've got the exact same problem: The button saved everything else but that, no error on the console.
Wish someone could fix it or tell me how to edit it through a maybe "lib_config.ini" file or something, i can't seem to find something like that.
Due to a naming problem some of my TV serieses are having wrong file names, which could probably be fix by this option, that's why I'm here.
Would really appreciate some helps!

This is a UI bug that has been fixed by this PR. (pats self on the back)

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/pull/6338

It should be in the next release, 10.10.4. Whenever that is cut.

But when you enable and save that setting it IS saved and applied. But the current state is not properly retrieved when you re-open the library settings menu.
