Hi,

It looks like CollectionType is not being returned for TV shows.

As a result, folks using Yatse are not able to load the TV list and instead have to go to the files list.  This means you loose your spot every time  you return from the external player.

Is there a way to define CollectionType for TV Shows?

Thanks

If that property is blank, the library is designated as Mixed content, not TV Shows.

Looking at all my libraries, except for Movies, all are set to Mixed Content.  It looks like you can't change the Content Type on an existing library.  I have over 350 TV Series and 20k episodes.  If I delete the library and add it back with a content type of TV Shows, will all users loose all their pointers, or are those retained?

Thanks!  That worked like a charm.
