App crashes when opening a person within a boxset about jellyfin-androidtv HOT 5 CLOSED

Good find, didn't even know you could add people to a collection but apparently everything is allowed to go in there. The bug is fixed now and will be in the next release!

I am just really curious what is the use case for having a person in a collection/boxset?

Great question. In my install I have renamed Collections to Favorites (which is allowed), and added a Jellyfin colored heart as primary cover image, like so:

Within there I have created box sets/collections that contain my favorite actors and actresses:

So when I want to watch something that has my favorite actor/actress in it, I just have to go to Favorites > Actresses > [Actress] instead of searching. Which is a bit of a pain with a regular remote and d-pad. So for me it's mainly just a shortcut.

_{My install is a bit different. I have videos across ~40 libraries, which makes some Jellyfin things a bit difficult to use 😉}

@nielsvanvelzen I have also just tested the change and it works perfectly. Thank you for the extremely quick response and solution! 🚀

Definitely an interesting way to use collections! I think you're the first one ever adding persons to a collection haha.
