King Pin 28 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I just did a complete wipe and reinstall of my NAS HD's and a clean install of Emby. So far everything has gone smoothly but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get back my Collections folder that used to show on the mainpage and the movie page. What am I missing as I'm sure it's very simple? BTW: Most of the collections were made automatically by EMBY not by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 @King Pin That would suggest your media metadata does not have the info to create the Collections. To test that theory, find two or more items that belong to a Collection and Refresh their metadata. Or if you write nfo files with media check them for <set> node. Also verify your Library setup option per library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pin 28 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) My library setup is correct according to your picture. I refreshed Metadata for a couple movies in the same set and they started to appear in a collection but it seems I have to manually create the collections. I also refreshed metadata for the whole movie folder but all as it shows is one collection. Quote Or if you write nfo files with media check them for <set> node. I have no idea what this means.

Happy2Play 8281 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Not sure if it matters having TMDB as secondary provider. 32 minutes ago, King Pin said: Quote Or if you write nfo files with media check them for <set> node.

If you write nfo files it must contain <set> in each movie metadata. <set tmdbcolid="635922"> <name>47 Meters Down Collection</name> </set> 34 minutes ago, King Pin said: I refreshed Metadata for a couple movies in the same set and they started to appear in a collection but it seems I have to manually create the collections.

That point to missing metadata, but something must be going wrong if Refreshing the Library does not correct the issue. May need to see the server log after a library refresh then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pin 28 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Update: Collections started forming after moving tmdb to the first position. I still want to know how I can get that collections folder back on the main page. edit: @Happy2Playwe both were posting at the same time.

If it is not showing in My Media check your User-Home Screen setting for that Library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pin 28 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 I don't see any option here. Maybe it needs to finish gathering all the collections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I guess you won't have it since your system technically has not made the library even though you have Collections tab in Movies library. All that is left would be errors in your server log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37060 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Try refreshing the metadata on a collection and see if that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pin 28 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Came to my computer this morning and opened Emby and was greeted with a nice surprise. The collections folder is there on my homepage and images started to showup. Looks like I just had to have a bit of patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
