The letter AE is appearing under movies how can I remove it

[solo1133 0]

Inside of the movies section in emby on the left where you chose the letters to get to certain movies by first letter of the name. For some reason it is showing up as #,A,AE,B,C,D...etc. Any time you choose something after AE it just keeps going back to AE which chooses AEon flux. The TV show section is correct, why does the movie section show up like that with the AE. Basically I can't browse using that function by choosing another letter. How can I remove the AE in the movies section.

 

[Guest asrequested]

Yeah, just confirmed that. Any letter chosen after that, Aeon Flux is always at the top.

 

This is on Android mobile.

If I want to watch a movie say in the T's...I just give up because it takes way to long to browse if you have a bunch of content. I guess you can use the search function, but I really would like to just browse at times at certain letters. Do you know how that happened? And is there a quick way to remove it?

Just set metadata 'Sort title' to 'Aeon Flux'. Title will still display as is, bu it'll end up where you expect it to & the alpha picker will be happy.

Is that something I can do? And if so, how to I do it? Is this a global issue? Doofus said it shows up for him that way as well.

Are other people seeing this as well?

[Guest asrequested]

Yes, you can modify the metadata, but this is a bug. If you choose Z, Aeon Flux is still the first movie.

The problem is the stylized 'Æ', which probably occurs nowhere else in nature, so coding around it is probably an unreasonable  expectation.

 

edit: actually, probably just a problem where localization is 'english'.

It ca be easily fixed by:

 

Open http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/home.html(substitute server IP address for 'localhost' if NOT on the same PC).

 

Browse to the 'Æon Flux' detail page.

 

Select the '...' menu  select 'Edit metadata'

 

Paste 'Aeon Flux' into the 'Sort title' field & save.

I did... long ago, until I changed the 'sort title'.

Forgive me d00zah. I just don't know where to find this information. So I'm subscribed to baconfeet and I'm using the emby app on my nvidia shield. Do I need to do this on my shield or on my PC...and does doing this on my PC fix the issue i'm having on my shield?

I can switch the sorting to Z-A and it seems to work correctly...just tested it. But it sucks having to do that all the time.

Sorry. I have a difficult time thinking of Emby in terms of a subscription service.

 

The sever administrator would need to make this adjustment.

It's not Æ, it's actually a single character.

 

The A-Z picker is dynamic based on the leading characters of the sort titles of your media. If you don't like seeing Æ, you can always customize the sort title of that particular item.

[Guest asrequested]

The problem is that if you choose a letter from the alpha picker after that character, that movie is at the top of every section you make. Press 'B' and you get Aeon Flux, press 'C' and you get Aeon Flux and so on.... with every one of them.

[Luke 42079]

Yes that's an issue that needs to be looked at, thanks for reporting.

[atomicmoon 152]

The special character "Æ" breaks the option to jump to movies by letter on all devices I have tried except the web ui.

Æon Flux was the movie that I had in collection that would always default jump to, no matter what letter I would attempt to jump to.

 

I.E.
Want to jump to, "M" movies? Click on M on the jump to, but it would always jump to Æon Flux.

Quick fix is just renamed the movie to Aeon Flux, but still wanted to bring to attention.

 

Devices I tried: Nvidia Shield, Fire Stick, Roku.

 

Thanks, and as always, if this is a duplicate I do apologize, I did try searching for "Special characters" and "Æ" but nothing jumped out.

But there are several topics on this specific example.

We are looking into improving this so that the workaround isn't necessary. Thanks for reporting.

Since it only applies to a new installation, you will need to ensure that is in the Announcement/Blog.

[Luke 42079]

Yea. This one might actually be possible for existing installs, i'll have to look at that.

will this also apply to other characters, like the ¿ or ¡? These are used a lot in Spanish titles and I had to change the sort title for all items so that the Alpha picker would actually work...

My guess would be with the database sort name changes in 4.4, it would require a clean/new install to reflect this update.
