Cannot Make TV Series Collection & Unpopulated Cast

[Happy2Play 9442]

You only replaced that section and not everything else correct?

[Happy2Play 9442]

What OS?  Do you have "Previous Versioning" enabled? Right click the file-properties-Previous version

Yes correct. I tried it several times and every time it  resorts to the Emby setup wizard....

[Z0m8ie 26]

This is the code that I added in replace of <ContentTypes />

 

<ContentTypes>
    <NameValuePair>
      <Name>\\MORGAN\Server Folder_03\Film & Video\-=TV & Video Archive=-\Scooby-Doo! Collection<Name>
      <Value>tvshows</Value>
    </NameValuePair>
  </ContentTypes>

Is this already a library path \\MORGAN\Server Folder_03\Film & Video\-=TV & Video Archive=-?  This is the only ready I could see is if this wasn't a defined library.

[Happy2Play 9442]

Could you post or pm your edited system.xml.

[Z0m8ie 26]

I've sent it as an attachment file to your post box. Let me know if you got it ok.

 

Cheers,

I got it, what server version are you on?  It can't be a current dev cause I get a unhandled exception with your system.xml.

I got it, what server version are you on?  It can't be a current dev cause I get a unhandled exception with your system.xml.

 

On the top of the web browser it says: Version 3.1.6152.18304 dev

 

In "About" it says: Version Version 3.1.6152.18304

Is there any other information you need @@Happy2Play?

[Happy2Play 9442]

No idea why the wizard comes up with this change as it hasn't happened on my test machine.  Have you tried just clicking through the wizard?  All the configuration and databases are still there so nothing is actually changing.

I'll have a go doing that. Since installing this program like way back when it was called Media Browser 2, I have never done a fresh install and I believe some folders have been left behind... Would this be causing any issues?

[Happy2Play 9442]

Old installations shouldn't have any bearing.  Some systems can just be stubborn.  Is there a reason you run the dev build?

No reason, how do I get it to download official releases instead?

[Z0m8ie 26]

Does anyone know how I change the automatic updates to official release instead of beta releases?

[Luke 40082]

Just install the version you want from the website. Please note, we don't really recommend switching back and forth between release channels.

[Happy2Play 9442]

Note that downgrading will cause issues with plugins right now since they are not currently backward compatible.

So should I just leave as it is and not downgrade but add that script then go throught the Emby setup?

[Luke 40082]

I would avoid any scripts that might tamper with your Emby installation. The best thing to do is choose one update channel and stay on it. That's our recommendation at least. If you want to switch release channels the best thing to do is start with a new installation.

Hi Luke, What can I do about my original problem though?, are you eventually going to address the issue of collections of series in one folder?

[Z0m8ie 26]

anyone?
