Did a quick search and didn't find anything. So I recently installed 3.0.5518.0 Beta of windows mediabrowser server and I'm finding a weird bug in the "Metadata Manager". When I go in to change the primary image of a collection for an auto boxsets plugin created collection, the primary image always reverts back to the primary image of the first asset in the collection. This doesn't matter if I go to the image flag, browse for the image using the "browse image" button and download from an online source, or click on the cloud button under the primary image. After I restart the server, the primary image always reverts. Art, banner and logo images don't seem to be affected. I always hit save after in the metadata tab of the collection. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug in the beta? Anyone else seeing this? To reproduce the issue: - Goto Metadata manager - Click on a collection under collections - Click the images tab - Click the cloud button under the primary image poster - Click download on a poster from an external source such as theMovieDb - Click the metadata button and hit save - Goto settings and restart the mediabrowser server or just use mediabrowser for awhile / re-log in - Click on the collection again and watch the primary poster art revert to the primary image of the first asset in the collection Also does mediabrowser use an external bug tracker like JIRA or something that we can do a search in? Just a noob question that I haven't really found an answer for atm. I'll post some logs shortly when I get home. I don't have the cover art plugin installed but I do have auto box-sets plugin installed. TIA

Hi there - Have issue with titles linked via a collection no longer grouping in the movies display - its now showing each movie individually. originally made all collections manually via meta data manager and it worked fine for two weeks or so. logged on today and now they are all showing individually. installed plug in autoboxset, nothing changed manually removed all titles from each collection one by one and then adding them back in (then locked the meta data to stop any auto changes) - this worked until next time server was started then it defaulted back to showing titles individually. tried unlocking and refreshing - no fix. screen shots attached - pls help!. PS sorry for the shoddy spelling!

I have been using MB2 successfully for a few years, but a few days ago I tried out MB3 to see if it was better. I set up my collections in the dashboard just as I have it in MB2: Only one collection of TV shows, but several "Movie"-like collections: Movies, Documentaries, Shorts, and Cartoons. I then fired up MB Theater, expecting to see my collections. I didn't. All I saw was "Movies TV Apps". Poking around "Movies", I saw that it was a complete mix of all my Movies, Documentaries, Shorts, and Cartoons. I really would like direct access to my collections like in MB2. Is there any way to do this in MB3? Thanks

It's been asked a lot; can you hide specific media from a users library access? Also, at time of writing this, if you remove a portion of your library from a users access list, 18/Restricted movies for instance, the user may still be able to access that media via Collections (if a movie is part of a collection, and a user doesn't have access to that movie, that can still get to it via the Collection). This guide will show you how to manually hide a collection (or other media) from a specific user via metadata tags and the parental control system built into MediaBrowser 3. 1) Find the collection (or other media) that you want to hide in the web interface. In the picture above, I'm going to hide the Karas collection. Hovering over the collection image, choose to edit the collection. This will take you to the Metadata Manager page. 2) Scrolling down, you can add a tag that you want to use. I've simply used "Nobox" in the image, but it can be anything you want that isn't already being used; so don't use genres unless you want to hide all of a genre from a user. To add the tag, type in your chosen tag, hit the + symbol on the right, and then hit the save button at the bottom or top of the page. Using the same tag, repeat this process for any and all media you want to hide from the user. 3) Now go into your dashboard and hit the Users option from the menu on the left. Pick the user you want to hide the media for and go to the Parental Control tab. 4) Scroll down to the "Block items with tags" option and add the tag you chose earlier. Again, in the picture above that is Nobox. Again, don't forget to hit the save button. 5) Run a library scan from the library page.

The external IDs were present for Back to the Future Part I except for the tmvb collection ID. I went into the "collections" MBS server view and attempted to refresh the entire collection, at which point it told me the action would be "queued." However, no changes have occurred. Here's my concern: these movies were always appearing in the "collections" before whatever change took place. I have not paid close attention to when exactly "collections" were brought back into MBS as a mainstay (I know they were jettisoned from the MBC EHS for awhile, at least), but there's no reason why they should have stopped appearing/for this data to be lost. More strangely, some of these "collections" were only showing one movie (e.g., The Dark Knight Trilogy was previously only showing The Dark Knight), however now a couple of them are showing more movies again (e.g., now Batman Begins is showing up...but not The Dark Knight Rises to round out the set). It's incredibly bizarre for at least one or two movies to suddenly start disappearing from basically each of my collections at the same time without my intervention. This behavior is weird and I really think something is going on with the server, not my metadata management.

MBS - Only users with editing controls can make collections/group versions
BAS posted a topic in Feature Requests
I was checking some of the features while logged in as my son and I noticed when I clicked the checkmark menu option that anyone without editing privileges could make collections or group versions. I was hoping to see this removed and only show the playlist options for non editing user types. -
Hi all Is there anyway to sort collections in Classic by the same method by which they are sorted in the web client ? In the web client they are sorted by the order in which they were released as per the entry in collection file, as below. <DisplayOrder>PremiereDate</DisplayOrder> In Classic there is only the standard sort options. (that I'm aware of) For some collections it is obvious the order of the movies, eg Back to the Future 1,2 & 3 (and these are by far the minority) But for someone who isn't familiar with the movies, The Bourne Supremacy movies and the Austin Powers movies for example do not give any indication in their name of release order. I have quite a few users who aren't movies buffs like I am and have no idea which one to watch first. Any way to achieve this ?

How do the collections work. Is it just for movies that have many version like Rocky or Start wars. Or is it for say Different types of Movies like Kids movies, Adult Movies, Regular Movies, Sleaze Movies, Sprots, Documentrys, etc... The reason i ask is, because i added my Regular Movies 1200 of them and they are added under Movies as type Movies. Then i add my Sleze Movies 900 of them, They are added under SlezeMovies as type Movies. Then when i go to the web client i see under Movies all are listed together (i though i would have both Movies and SleazeMovies shown on the menu bar), i have to view by folder to see them seperated in groups. I guess this is normal. So i made folder veiw the default on the home page. I was not able to put each type of Movie file into a collection when adding the folder to the library. When in folder view i can not select the movies to add them to a collection, you can only select movies from the main Movies listing and that makes it much harder to select large numbers of movies so i guess collection was not made for Movies types as i was thinking. Is there an easy way to tag movie file in bulk, like say tag all 900 Sleze movies at one time either in folder view or with the metadata manager.

I have the collapse movies from collections option on in MBC. If I add 1 item that belongs to a collection to my playlist that item gets listed as my collection instead with all the contents inside for MBC thus not respecting the playlist items. Confirmed in Chocolate and Square. Server with group movies into collections user preference on and the playlists with items from collection is displayed correctly.

Hello, I'm new to MediaBrowser and added my XBMC library (movies and *.nfo) into MediaBrowser. Unfortunately my collections which are working in XBMC are not shown. Must I configure MB to use the XBMC tags for collections? Yours Rüdiger

I've setup three collections on the server containing a number of TV series each - none of these collections show an unwatched count - here's two of them (along with some movie boxets) - the ones with the animal pictures are TV collections: Shouldn't TV series collections have an unwatched count? One major side effect of this is that in MBC these collections show with a watched check-mark, which makes it look like there's no un-watched content inside: And a further unwanted side effect - if I enter into one of these collections and watch some episodes, the watched count is decremented - resulting in a negative number when I get back to the front collections screen: (Note: I've posted this before in the MBC section - and I think ebr believes that issue lies at the server end).

Server Version 3.0.5366.22005 The option "Group movies into collections" on the Preferences page is no longer working. Movies are grouped in the collections view but not in the movies view. (The option is checked in preferences) I posted about problems with grouping music videos a few days ago. see http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/10459-grouping-music-videos-not-working/ Perhaps they are related if that helps.

I am running MBS v13755 and MBC v207. When I enter the "Collections" folder, the box sets appear normally, but when I enter a particular set, there are no items shown. In the Web GUI, everything works and displays normally. I've attached a log. MBClassic-992014e5953c9e77c643bfa276af0c93e6c228.log

Lol my bad, I did indeed reread it before I posted and still didn't see it, I've got an ear infection at the moment and I'll blame it on that lol Not sure why it wouldn't show up. Let me give u the Microsoft solution, have u tried restarting MBClassic?

I have three Collections to which I've added various TV series via the web UI. These appear when selecting "Collections" from the EHS. But, nothing displays on the EHS with any of the filters "Latest", "Unwatched" or "In-Progress", I would have expect some content to appear here. Here's the "Unwatched" collections on the EHS: When entering into "Collections" - the three collections are displayed, but all of them have a tick indicating no unwatched episodes even though there are many unwatched episodes in each collection: And if I then watch some episodes within one of these collections and then exit - the watched count is decremented and now displays a negative number. This is after watching three episodes:

Feature Request: Seperate Collections based on Media type
gillmacca posted a topic in General/Windows
The way collections work at the moment, is if I make movie collections and tv collections and any other sort of collection, they all appear under collections. What I would like to see is a way to separate or group them. One option is you go into collections, and are shown for example, TV Collections - Movie Collections - Music Collections and that would take you into the relevant collection. If it happens to have a mixture of Movie/TV files, it could appear under both movies and TV. -
In the webclient (IE), I just noticed the square image on the collection folders.. any setting that can stop that?

Hi, I really don't like the creation of Box Set folders in my Movies Folder. I have MB set up to save data with the media, I like the creation of the Box Sets or collections, but I don't want these folders to exist in my Movies folder, for one thing it creates duplicates of the box sets which is frustrating. Is there any way to direct MB to create these folders elsewhere, like in the Metadata folder?? It's driving me nuts.

as you can see coverart refuses to treat the toplevel image for the collections

When we set up collections we have the option of making it a combination of multiple folders from different locations. I'm wondering if it would be possible to do a similar thing when assigning collections to users. I think it would be very useful at the user level to be able to combine one or more collections into a single user collection giving it a name. e.g. If I have an animated movie collection, an Asian movie collection and a regular movie collection. I'd like to be able to assign just the animated movie collection to my daughter, a combination of the animated movies and regular movies to my son, and a combination of all three for me. And in each case I could name this user collection "Movies".

MBT vs MBC Collections (Mixing Up Content of Docos in TV/Movies)
Aussiedroid posted a topic in Windows & Xbox
Hi All, Had a bit of a play around with MBT for the first time last night and noticed that all my Documentaries were mixed in with my Movies and TV sections on the main screen (with no Documentaries section showing). MBC has them all separate as per the media folders I created in MBS. I assume this is because I have created the Docos with 'Mixed content' type in MBS? I see that I can navigate to it via the 'Collections' section but this doesnt really suit as I don't want to mix up my fact & fiction content. Also noticed the same config with the iPhone app that I tried last night. Is there a way to change it back to the way MBC and previous versions have worked so each of the Media Folder collections (Movies, TV, Docos) appear as a separate main menu in MBT and doesnt mix up the content? Thank you, Aussiedroid- 9 replies

Hi I'm having a weird issue with getting images for my Collections created by the plugin Auto Box Sets (v. 0.0.1.5). My metadata "Preferred language" and "Country" is set to Danish and Denmark. For all my Movies this works fine, it gets the Danish versions of images if there is any, if not it gets the English / No Language / top voted from themoviedb.org. But for my Collections / BoxSets it's not getting the "English" or "No Language" from themoviedb.org if there aren't any in danish. I can change my "Preferred language" to "English" and then "Browse Images" on a Collection folder, then "English" Images will show up but still not the "No Language" ones. I have tried with my Collection of RED -> http://www.themoviedb.org/collection/163902-red-collection And it sure has some Backdrops and Primary Images but i just wont fetch them if the language of the images is not the same as the "Preferred language". And since most Backdrops are "No Language" i cant get those other then getting them manual and uploading them to each Collection. System: Server Version: 3.0.5174.21980

Hi, I am on the latest releases of beta for MB3 server and classic, and just realised yesterday, that my boxsets collection are no longer showing the movies within each folder. This used to be okay, and since I haven't checked for about a month am unsure when it changed. My structure is \\server\boxsets\alien\alien 3 (shortcut) \aliens (shortcut) etc all shortcuts point to the general location of my movies ie \server\movies\alien 3 when I first implemented the boxset structure I found the collection.xml generated by MCM interfered in the MB3 scan so that I could see the top tier folder with images but it showed as empty for actual movies (the shortcuts). I removed all the collection.xml's and the scans worked fine. Can anybody point me in the right direction to solving this? Is there a new structure I should be using etc? Thanks in advance Brad

Probably a long shot, but I'll throw it out there anyway. I would like to be able to control metadata settings for each individual media collection. Right now, metadata settings apply to all collections (save metadata within media folders, enable automatic updates, etc.). I do want the metadata stored within my movie and tv collections, but don't want it stored within my music collection. I share the music collection with other users and use it with several devices/software packages, all the extra files created by metadata collection clutter things up tremendously. I am currently deleting thousands of album.xml files and fanart folders Whoops. Didn't even think about that when I added my music collection. Thanks for the consideration!
