Can't find a way to override the sidebar language text?

Can you please show a screenshot example? Hi, where is the language set to English? Thanks.

Yeah, sorry. I should've done that from the start. You can see everything is in English except for Live TV. No matter how many times I try to switch the language to something else and then back to English, this one menu item never changes.

What do you see when you click on  that section?

[eyoung70 0]

Everything in English except for the heading at the top of the view. Its literally just this one menu item. Even when I manage the server, the menu item on the sidebar for Live TV says Live TV in english. It just seems to be the client views. It shows in spanish on iOS and in a browser.

OK when live TV gets setup, a section on the server gets created and saved in the database based on the server language. Changing your display settings in an Emby app won’t impact that.

So once its set to a language inside this database, it cannot be changed?

Or could I open up a particular db file into sqlite browser and make the change myself?

So is my only recourse to nuke the server and start again just to change out that one label?

Nevermind. Figured it out myself.

For anyone else that has this problem, you have to grab a sqlite db manager utility and open up the data/library.db file. Then, open up the MediaItems table and search for the string in question ("TV en directo"). Just edit the string to Live TV or whatever, write the changes back to the db, and when you load up Emby again, it should show the correct menu text.
