SOLVED: Issues with special charakters since update

[lx77]

Hi,

in the past, I had no issues with special characters – Jellyfin did process (almost) everything.

But now if a file for example contains '–' (hyphen, not minus) or '&' it is ignored by Jellyfin and won't show up anywhere.
Even the whole folder containing the file won't show anything (e.g. other media files with no special characters).

Special characters like 'ä', 'ö', 'ü' don't make problems.


Solution
I've found something about a wrong env setting for 10.9.x (DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT set to true or 1) and deleted the variable. Now the issues are gone and the library scan works as expected.

Don't try to delete this variable with portainer if you're using synology docker (Container Manager), because it might reset the value. Took me a while to realize this. In Container Manager deleting the variable worked. https://github.com/portainer/portainer/issues/5813

This is strange. I have files with "-" in them and they work fine. Granted, they were already imported before I updated to v10.9.

Later, I'll add another video yo my server with the hyphen to see if this issue also happens to me.

Minuses (short -) are not causing problems. Only the slightly longer ones – do.

But I found the solution. See initial post.

Sorry, I accidentally marked this post as solution and cannot undo it.
