omegga 0 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I see that when I make a new collection, it shows up in the $Appdata/data/collections/$CollectionName [boxset] folder. But, this folder is empty, unlike other auto-generated movie collections which have a collection.xml file. So, if I want to back up this custom collection made by adding items manually, how do I do that? I tried copying that empty folder back to this folder but it doesn't restore the collection. Where are the details for which items are in a collection stored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37251 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 How exactly did you create the new collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37251 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Can you attach the emby server log from when you attempted to do that? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegga 0 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 How do I find the lines which are for that action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37251 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Please just attach the complete emby server log and let me know around what time you performed the operation. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37251 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 We haven't added it to the backup plugin yet, but they can be easily copied manually from one install to the other. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8356 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Have not reproduced custom collections not making collection.xml. But even if the backup plugin did backup all the default/custom collections you would run into the issue of Refreshing custom collections discussed here. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/66632-3520-36077-collections-did-not-migrate/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hilarious! I wish i kept searching the forum now. I tried to refresh metadata on a couple of the collections and gave up. i spent hours re-adding collection items and fixing random missing posters after a library copy to a new machine (its an old library so a of images are stored differently or have different names and the metadata manager refresh did nothing) sorted now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
