Lee 204 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I was having an issue (probably a legacy thing) where some of my boxsets weren't showing in clients but were on the web interface... soooo I installed the auto boxsets thingy. I now have multiple boxsets twice ... if I go to the delete option it says on the server it'll wipe the files out too??? surely that can't be right?? I only want to remove one of the instances of boxset. guess you're the man to answer this one @@ebr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14955 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 You'll need to be careful because, if some of your box sets are actually created in the file system (with a parent folder with the boxset tag) then, yes, it may delete the movies too. If it is, instead, a box set created with the web client or plug-in, then it will only delete the box set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14955 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 The one you posted a screen shot of looks like one of the automatic ones. It would be safe to delete, but it will come back if you have the plug-in installed. Instead, what you should do is re-organize your movies out of the physical box set folders (if that's how they are) and just let the plug-in do its thing.

Lee 204 Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 if i do that does it retain the information for a re-install?? boxset artwork etc mainly, i've done LOADS of custom ones... i do have a separate IBN folder where i've put MARVEL for example does it create an xml of where to look for the artwork???

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Temporarily change the permissions on your custom boxsets so that the user Emby is running under cannot delete them. This will prevent you from deleting those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've removed my boxsets folder (was a right pain!) put all the artwork in IBN in a collections folder to use later. @@ebr where do the images go from the autoboxsets plugin?? i'd like to use/modify some of them. Also if I remove the plugin now it'll leave the boxsets as is on the server right??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been my experience. I remove it after it creates the base boxsets for just this reason. Sometimes there are edits in the TMDB data I don't like and don't want to replicate. For example, I've seen a Monty Python movie collection come and go several times on TMDB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
