A query sorted by a user-dependent key (PlayCount, IsFavoriteOrLiked,
DatePlayed, IsPlayed, IsUnplayed) but carrying no User caused a
NullReferenceException inside UserDataManager.GetUserData, surfacing as
"Failed to compare two elements in the array" (InvalidOperationException
wrapping the NRE from the LINQ sort) and 500-ing the /Items request.
Root cause: LibraryManager.GetComparer assigned comparer.User = user
without a null guard, so PlayCountComparer.GetValue called
UserDataManager.GetUserData(null, item), dereferencing user.Id.
Two-part fix:
- LibraryManager.GetComparer: when user is null and the sort key requires a
user (IUserBaseItemComparer), substitute the SortName comparer so the
result stays deterministic instead of 500-ing. SortName is the project's
canonical tiebreaker (ItemsController injects it for album-by-artist).
- UserDataManager.GetUserData: ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(user) as
defense in depth (matches the existing guards on the SaveUserData
overloads in the same file). On master this overload was rewritten to use
ResolveUserDataRow, so the NRE dereferences user.Id rather than
user.InternalId as on the release branch — same bug, different line.
Also fixes DateLastMediaAddedComparer being statically mis-tagged as
IUserBaseItemComparer: its GetDate is static and never reads User, so it
does not need one. Without this, the SortName fallback above would wrongly
engage for DateLastContentAdded on anonymous queries (returning SortName
order instead of date order). Re-tagged to IBaseItemComparer and dropped the
unused User/UserManager/UserDataManager properties.
Tests:
- UserDataManagerTests.GetUserData_NullUser_ThrowsArgumentNullException:
reproduces the crash (NRE -> now ArgumentNullException). Added to master's
existing UserDataManagerTests.
- LibraryManagerSortTests.Sort_UserDependentKey_NullUser_FallsBackToSortNameWithoutThrowing:
Sort with a user-dependent key + null user no longer throws and returns
items ordered by the SortName fallback (direction preserved).
- LibraryManagerSortTests.Sort_DateLastContentAdded_NullUser_OrdersByDateNotSortName:
guards that DateLastContentAdded still sorts by date with no user (fixture
chosen so date-desc and SortName-desc disagree, so a revert is caught).
Full Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Tests suite: 642 passed, 0 failed.
Fixes#17393
Explicitly set StandardErrorEncoding and StandardOutputEncoding to
Encoding.UTF8 when invoking the FFmpeg subprocess.
This prevents log encoding issues and character corruption on Windows
environments that default to non-UTF8 ANSI code pages.
This fixes garbled metadata and font names in the FFmpeg logs.
