all the jellyfin music clients have weird glitches with band names and metadata. this has been with almost every (android) jellyfin client on 3 different Jellyfin servers over the years
i was almost completely sold on Jellyfin being my music server but it wasn't quite ready for me, or possibly there is something about my library it doesn't like.
What?
Just have your files properly tagged by picard/lidarr.
Improper tags = Weird behaviour you caused.
Using Finamp and Symfonium on my phone.
thanks, I've been diligently tagging for a couple weeks now! working splendidly in feishin/tempo fork!
That's interesting to hear, finamp has been great for me for at least a year and a half. What kind of issues do you see if you don't mind me asking
no sweat!
most of the library looks like this on anything that isn't the native Jellyfin app on android.
I've struggled with it a few times before giving up.
still keep that jellyfin server running these days, on the same vm/container and library just in case.
Works fine (Finamp)

not OP, mine was miserable at detecting the song until i fixed my mp3's internal tags.
It still crashes on some random songs on my kids playlist have never found out which one does it, it just stops playing randomly. I ended up ditching it for symphonium which isn't free or open, but OMG. If found all my sonos, and my pixel tab and just streams, even plex has issues on my complicated network, they download your whole library list and handle searches and playlists locally instead of trying to get jellyfin to search/random which it's not good at without plugins.
I've never had an issue, hm.
