One day, I tossed some MAXIMUM THE HORMONE, all caps because it’s… how it is, into my Music folder, which just happened to have the Japanese text identifying the band.

Well Jellyfin took it in and labeled it as it does with the Japanese text. I changed it to MTH, thinking the albums would follow suit and… Albums gone.

I head back to the home screen, the albums are there, attributed to the Japanese name. I check the band name, listed under the japanese name, and there’s no albums.

Then I moved everything, deleted all of the content from Jellyfin, changed the names to the English names BEFORE importing, imported it again, aaaaaaand, Japanese text.

Do I have to dive into the metadata directly?

    You can try setting the language option in your config to translate/transliterate the fields to your preferred language

      Because of course someone already needed a solution to this very problem. I’ll give it a shot.
