As stated in AVRCP 1.6.2 chapter 6.10.2.3 Media element item, for the Displayable Name Length property, the target device may truncate the item name: Length of Displayable Name in octets.

This truncatation may occur in the middle of a multi-byte character, at least with Samsung Music app, which triggers a DBus assertion and crashes bluetoothd: profiles/audio/player.c:media_folder_create_item() Din Dhal Jaye Haye with lyrics | "दिन ढल जाए हाय" गाने के बो� type audio uid 1 profiles/audio/player.c:media_folder_create_item() /org/bluez/hci0/dev_24_24_B7_11_82_6C/player0/NowPlaying/item1 profiles/audio/player.c:media_player_set_metadata() Title: Din Dhal Jaye Haye with lyrics | "दिन ढल जाए हाय" गाने के बोल | Guide | Dev Anand, Waheeda Rehman … arguments to dbus_message_iter_append_basic() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_utf8 (*string_p)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 2775.
