Roku music..extra letters?

[chrisrobbins1970 82]

OK this is a weird one.. Roku > Emby > Music ... There are extra letters after Z, that go NO where...

 

 

ON the web version..No extra letters...

The web version doesn't have some of the other letters in the list either.  Are you sure that is the exact same view in both?

[chrisrobbins1970 82]

Yes, both are using alumartist.. correct web version does not show extra letters, but Roku does...it's weird

While not a fix just looking at that screen shot makes me think about language. Specifically the language selected in the library settings. 

However I do not really think that is the issue but it is something that can be investigated. 
If you change the language for the library you may have to refresh metadata on that library and, if you have to do that it would, probably, not be a good idea to replace existing images. 
The problem I foresee is that media is being somehow treated as non-English in the sort title.

I do not see this on my Rokus but all my libraries are set at English (I do have some truly foreign movies but I always use regular English characters for all display options. )

Aside for that I have no real guess about what might be wrong.

One question that might already be answered: If you select one of the letters after "Z" what happens? Probably not a question that could lead to a solution but it is one that could have an "interesting" answer.

What happens if you click the Ø?

@chrisrobbins1970Apologies. It is mixing your artists and composers. That is why you have those characters other than English. The Composers will contain those characters. I know exactly why this is happening and what the problem is and where in the code to fix it. I will put up some things on the issue tracker to hopefully resolve this quickly.

Thank you for reporting too. Never forget to complain about the app no matter how small the issue may be. If you find anything faulty we would love to hear about it and how to replicate. Thanks again.

UPDATE:

I painstakingly went through ever album I had using MP3TAG and looked for any odd characters. None. It was not all a loss. I was able to fix a few issues I had with naming, but still Roku showing the extra letters.

We are looking into this. @speechles

Thanks for reporting.
