Xorp 47 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I believe this is a new 4.8 bug. I noticed that if a music video folder only 1 video in there, it displays as a individual file in the music videos Folders view. Have has zero issues with music video folder for years and years so must be a new bug. I deleted and recreated the music videos library, but got the exact same results. For example: Artist folder with multiple videos, shows as a folder in Music video folders: issue: artist with 1 video in their respective folder: shows the individual file instead at the end of the Folders view list, no John Mayer folder in that view there as there was pre-4.8 .nfo metadata for file has artist correctly set, along with file details display, but no John Mayer folder in folder view: there absolutely was a John Mayer Folder in Folders view pre recent updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8356 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 @XorpYes there are several topics on this as this is how Emby's <CollapseSingleItemFolders> works. Not sure if flags were reset as these library options.xml configs have been relocated to database only and can only be changed in the database or api. But there are/were two flags, one in system.xml and the other per library options.xml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xorp 47 Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 Well this is quite irritating, I get to spend my Saturday afternoon redoing my music videos library after working flawlessly for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8356 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 @Lukewere flags reset when all setting moved to database, as nothing has changed here in years. New install 4.8 system.xml <CollapseVideoFolders>false</CollapseVideoFolders> library options per api "CollapseSingleItemFolders": false, (newly created library) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xorp 47 Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 It also some sometimes considers completely separate video files as alternate videos of one of the files. I have many folders with Band Name - Concert.mkv but randomly some get consolidated into 1 video with multiple versions: I tried the "Split Versions Apart" option but then it listed all the individual files outside of the folder again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been this way since 4.6 as I do not believe this is restricted by content type. But dev would have to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xorp 47 Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 (edited) I was able to fix it by removing the parentheses around the year for all files in a artist folder Roger Waters - The Wall 2014.mkv instead of Roger Waters - The Wall (2014).mkv stop detecting multiple version of 1 of the files Edited February 17 by Xorp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xorp 47 Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 It does seem to work after deleting after the nfo, removing the parentheses around the year, and rescanning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37259 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 So yes, this behavior is changed in order to make the folder view more accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's set to true. <CollapseVideoFolders>true</CollapseVideoFolders> I'm putting a placeholder files so all folders have at least 2 files to fix it for myself. If it's own folder with it's own poster.jpg, it should be shown as a folder, I don't follow the logic of making folder view more accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37259 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 It sounds like setting it to false is what you want, and that is the new behavior going forward for new libraries. Just be aware that if you do that now it will be a destructive change that will cause everything to be rescanned as if it were brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way to check your library option is per the api now if you want to check /Library/VirtualFolders/Query endpoint. But all new libraries show false for me and you said you deleted and rebuilt so should be good. Change that to false restart your server do library scan. But this will force libraries to rebuild according to their CollapseSingleItemFolders flag . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
