LqHnyBear 23 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yes please. I'd love to be able to have nested collections. Like make a collection called marvel then have each individual marvel collection under that collection. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiedroid 56 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) I kinda do this with genres (well for Superhero anyways), but not ideal I guess & not really collection centric. I would find this handy too. For me, having a Star Wars collection, but with Prequel, Special Edition, Original etc would be great instead of them all grouping together into the one collection or all in individual collections. Same would be helpful for a few others too. Edited January 8, 2018 by Aussiedroid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 You'll be able to do this with the next release of emby server, although the main collections will still show them all flattened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chro 4 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 would be cool if we could get the feature to hide Collections that are nested from the overall Library. If the Ironman Thor and Avengers Collections are allready in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Collection i dont need them to be shown alongside the MCU. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funwithmedia 352 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 would be cool if we could get the feature to hide Collections that are nested from the overall Library. If the Ironman Thor and Avengers Collections are allready in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Collection i dont need them to be shown alongside the MCU. Personally, I'd be interested in this being a per-Collection setting (eg, "Hide this Collection from main list if it is already included in another Collection" Yes/No), as opposed to a global setting (though I suppose you could have a global default and then override it per-Collection). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14929 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Nested collections are actually no longer officially supported as they presented several problems that have to be dealt with first. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 854 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Huh? Support for nested collections is in beta: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/57471-33110-nested-collections/?hl=nested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14929 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Yes, that was over a year and a half ago and we subsequently had to take the ability out of the UI due to problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaddi9607 0 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Will it be worked on sometime in the future or is it canceled for good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14929 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Very few things are ever "canceled for good" . So, yes, it is something we'd still like to support. It is just a matter of the priorities due to the difficulty in doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro 4 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 is there something like an upcoming features or priotity list? just curious what new features will be coming in the next months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 is there something like an upcoming features or priotity list? just curious what new features will be coming in the next months I would suggest following the feature request topics. The most active ones are usually a good indication of what we'll be working on. And then you can also follow the beta releases to see active development.

braigo64 6 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Bumping this because I've had a hell of a time trying to get nested collections to work only to fail miserably and realizing what minimal support there was has been pulled. Not even using the API works. Hoping this gets put higher on the priorities list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKKK 4 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I am bumping this because it used to work fine (for me at least) but now has been dropped (V4.4.2) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 You can still make nested collection manually or via the API (/Collections/{Id}/Items Adds items to a collection) link at bottom of Dashboard. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <Item> <ContentRating>PG-13</ContentRating> <Added>8/28/2019 1:40:53 PM</Added> <LockData>false</LockData> <LocalTitle>MCU Collection</LocalTitle> <Genres> <Genre>Action</Genre> <Genre>Adventure</Genre> <Genre>Sci-Fi</Genre> <Genre>Thriller</Genre> </Genres> <Studios> <Studio>Marvel Studios</Studio> </Studios> <CollectionItems> <CollectionItem> <Path>Y:\Emby-Server\programdata\data\collections\The Avengers Collection [boxset]</Path> </CollectionItem> <CollectionItem> <Path>Y:\Emby-Server\programdata\data\collections\Captain America Collection [boxset]</Path> </CollectionItem> </CollectionItems> <DisplayOrder>PremiereDate</DisplayOrder> </Item> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braigo64 6 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 You can still make nested collection manually or via the API (/Collections/{Id}/Items Adds items to a collection) link at bottom of Dashboard. I've done that both manually and through the API. It adds the collection to the xml file, but it doesn't show up in the UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I've done that both manually and through the API. It adds the collection to the xml file, but it doesn't show up in the UI. From my tests it doesn't show in Parent id library as said item technically is not in that parent folder it is virtual item with other virtual items. It only appears in the My Media Collection library or via search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braigo64 6 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 If the parent collection doesn't display the child collections then it's pointless to even use the API since I can't actually see anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chyron 226 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) I would like Nested Collections to be reinstated. I have Audiobooks that are in Series collections that I would like to put those series into a subgenre collection.

rbjtech 4287 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) I've been running with Nested Collections for a while now and have not seen any issues. Creating them involves creating the links directly in the database which is strictly unsupported, so if you do not want to wait for the official support, then ping me a PM and I'll share the document I wrote on how to do it. edit 2nd Feb 2024 - This no longer works ... As an example - This is the Infinity Saga Collection comprising of the Phase 1,2 & 3 (Collections). Edited February 6 by rbjtech 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybrsage 4 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I would like this added in as well, for the same reasons as the rest of the choir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meijinhada 4 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Adding my vote for this. I'm trying Emby through Kodi, and when I used MrMc, I had more than a few collections I had to manually create that would be nice to nest instead, like the MCU example already mentioned, or my Rifftrax.
