mastrmind11 717 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I want them grouped, other users don't. Push the feature down a level and make everyone happy. Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8319 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 That is where it started and then moved to Global. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmind11 717 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 woah. really? so then how about both levels, off everywhere by default, global overrides child? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Would prefer the return of the per-user setting as well. Not sure why it was changed. The proper way to have "Global" settings is to allow them to be overridden at the library and the user levels. If people don't want the users to change this, they can turn off that functionality.

ebr 14939 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 One reason changes like this are made (in addition to simplicity) is performance. The more you have to run through the decision logic of what to show each user, the longer it takes. So, sometimes we have to compromise on some of these features to get gains in other areas.

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hopefully, one day we get the option to use a better database system like MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL. Then we can have features and performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d00zah 129 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I, too, would very much like this to be returned to a 'per user' option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00zah 129 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) I wanted to elaborate further on this request, as it represents one of my few remaining 'nits' to pick with Emby. Admittedly, my use case is simple... the original MB2 model... manage/audit in browser, enjoy in EMC. While I prefer having movies grouped into collections for clients (makes sense when navigating large libraries), managing things in the webUI can be a tad clunky when I need to go back to the config section to toggle the option just to get a reliable total movie count. Formerly. separate admin/user account settings addressed this. IF making this a per-user option again is simply out of the question, I wanted to propose some potential alternatives (in order of preference... mine): - Ignore this setting in the webUI... the 'Collections' view is only 2 options to the right making grouping redundant. - OR - - When sorting movies by anything other than 'Name', automatically un-group collections. .. results end up weird with collections at end/beginning of list otherwise. - OR - - Provide an accurate total movie count at a glance even when displaying grouped by collection. This ought to apply to the 'Reports' section, too. Not a complete solution, but addresses the issue I encounter most often. EDIT: Or simply the ability to toggle the option directly from the 'Movie' view? I realize these suggestions don't address all other user preferences, but it's a start. Thanks for your time.

Luke 37132 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Well if we have the web app, or any app ignore it, then we'll have to deal with constant reports of it "not working". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00zah 129 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Fair enough, that addresses option #1. How 'bout the others? Option #2 suggests something similar to how the list behaves when applying a filter, so it's been done. That's why I proposed a number of potential options. EDIT: or even a Grouped/Ungrouped filter depending on the state of the setting? Edited March 24, 2017 by d00zah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
