itsrumsey 4 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) I apologize in advance if this is common knowledge and I am simply missing something. Is there a way to have collections automatically formed for movies based on whether they are a member of a TheMovieDB collection? For instance, when browsing my library is there a way to have all James Bond movies show up in an automatically generated collection, that way they aren't scattered all over the place when I am browsing? It seems like the potential is there since Emby already grabs metadata on which collections your film is a part of, so its just a matter of it automatically creating and managing the collection for you, as well as hiding any item that is part of a collection from the main list view. edit: Like a fool, I just discovered AutoBoxSets plugin. This accomplishes the same feature to a large degree. Is there an option in Emby to hide items that belong to collections from view in the "Movies" tab? Or even better, hide all the items that are a part of a collection name but show the collection itself in the browsing window? example: Edited April 10, 2015 by itsrumsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficarum 68 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Go into your preferences screen (click on your user picture on the dashboard) and right at the bottom you'll see an option "Group movies into collections". This will show a collection instead of the movies it contains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 You'll want to get the Auto Boxset plugin if you want these created automatically. By default you create them by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iam4uk 26 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Where is the metadata and images stored on the server, so that a user can edit them via Windows Explorer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Where is the metadata and images stored on the server, so that a user can edit them via Windows Explorer? Depends on your settings. Either in %appdata%\mediabrowser-server\metadata, the folder you specified in the settings, or within the media folders themselves.

Luke 37071 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Sorry, these newer features are designed to work with collections (boxsets) that have been created with the web interface. We have not been going back and adding the features to older MB2-style folder boxsets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trusselo 220 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 but they dont work if done both ways either it appears. the web interface shows them as a collection for me in the collections view, and I can edit the collection information through the web view. BUT they do not auto-group in Movies webview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 ok thanks. that will have to be investigated then. so far i haven't seen that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT they do not auto-group in Movies webview Does your collection show up here (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\data\collections)? If not then they will not be grouped in movie view. Same as I post in the thread you linked. You are able to edit collection info created the old way but they do not collapse in movie view because the collection.xml is not in the right location.

Happy2Play 8282 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 That is where all the collections created via the web interface or auto-boxset plugin go to. If you have collection.xml in folders you created (or MCM) you have to delete them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
