Chyron 238 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) I'm organizing my TV shows, and added the various Star Trek series to a single "Star Trek" collection. Although the collection does show up under the Collections media tab, it doesn't show up in TV Shows nor are the included shows hidden. How do I fix this?

Luke 37251 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The next release of the server will have an option for this. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chyron 238 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Hmm... I could have sworn there already was an option for it, or at least that there used to be. So is this a bug, or am I just confused thinking that this was once a feature? Edited October 11, 2018 by chyron8472 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8356 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Okay. But I can't figure out how to get my Movies to do it either. You mean the "Group movies into collections" setting? Dashboard-Library-Display Note this setting will move to a per library filter in next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37251 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Please try again with Emby server 3.6 once released. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8356 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Nope. It's not there. That would mean you are on a beta release and the setting has moved to per library on the three dot menu. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/62861-36043-grouping-into-collections Note this option doesn't appear to be visible via the online web app. Edited October 12, 2018 by ebr proper terminology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notla49285 46 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Why have people been requesting this?? It was much easier to change this setting centrally on the dashboard, now I have to go and change this setting for every library on every device, and apparently I can no longer view collections this way using the web app, which I use frequently.

Luke 37251 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I think ultimately you will find it easier because the option will be on the same screen as the content you're viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chyron 238 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 For the record, the reason why I previously didn't find this in the dashboard was because I was using Emby Connect at the time. The "Group movies into collections" setting does appear when accessing my server directly through the web app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I've now tried the Roku since installing 3.6 beta and all films are outside of collections with no apparent option to change it back.

Thanks @@ebr, don't know how high it is on the list for others but this is a fairly major thing in my library at the moment, I have quite a few collections which are now split up and spread out randomly (as all movies are now in alphabetical order and not grouped). The current workaround is allowing users access to the Collections library but it is awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mean to sound petulant, but I'm not changing the metadata for all of my movies just because Emby have missed this off. I see your strategy, but I've tried this before on a smaller scale and in reality the movie list ends up looking a complete mess, most of my collections it's not just a case of "Movie", "Movie 2: The Sequel", "Movie 3: The Other Sequel", so when initially looking at the full list where collections are grouped it doesn't look like it's in order at all until you look properly at the titles. I trust Emby devs to sort this fairly soon. Edited January 4, 2019 by notla49285 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8356 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 What exactly is not in order? The movie library? Or the contents of a collection? This all goes back to custom sort order in collections as sort title creates issues when items are not grouped into collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
