    Hi!

    I'm using the Jellyfin for Kodi add-on and not the Jellycon one, recently switched from Emby.
    Everything so far seems to be working just fine using Jellyfin as the database manager and Kodi as the frontend/player which I have done for many years.

    In my Jellyfin server I have the libraries set up so that movies also show up under collections, no problems there.
    Yesterday I configured Kodi so that it would also show me the collections/sets in that client.
    The problem I'm having is that the collections show up when browsing Kodi under Movies/Titles for instance, but the names of the collections are empty.
       
    But if I browse Add-ons/Video add-ons/Jellyfin/Collections all the collections show up properly named.
       

    Perhaps I'm on the wrong forum? Anyone knows what setting I'm missing here, or is this perhaps an oversight on the Jellyfin plugin to not populate those names.
    I checked the Kodi wiki and the required info in .nfo file seems to be there as in:
    <set tmdbcolid="125570">
        <name>300 Collection</name>
    </set>

    On the other hand this is on Kodi wiki:
    <set>
        <name></name>
        <overview></overview>
    </set>

    Maybe it cannot handle the extra info under set? But then I also don't know what handles what part between the Jellyfin add-on and Kodi.

    Any help or info regarding this would be appreciated, sure I could enter the names of the collections manually, but of course I would rather have this handled automatically, especially when the info seems to be available just not fetched.

    Just an update for anyone who perhaps are having the same problem.
    Had to go into Video add-ons/Jellyfin/Manage libraries/ and use Refresh boxsets, and now all boxset names are populated in Kodi.

    Cool I will try that!Couldn´t get the 5.1 sound output to work. Just downloaded the Jellyfin addon for my "old" Raspberry Pi 4 which I used before I got the Synology Server. Now everything works great but without the Collections I set earlier in Jeyllfin.

    By the way, which theme are you using for Kodi?
