How to mess up you AutoBoxSet collection

Hi all,
I've just tried to re-create my autoBoxSet collections (due to the issue I've had in the other post with a missing movie)...

 

Step 1) uninstalled AutoBoxSet plugin

Step 2) removed "collections" library from the Libraries

Step 3) restarted emby

Step 4) reinstalled AutoBoxSet plugin

Step 5) refresh AutoBoxSet in the plugin options

 

After opening the collections library in emby, this was the result:

As you can see, a lot of Box Sets are now duplicated - but, not all - several box sets appears only once,while several others have been duplicated.

 

Any Idea?

Because you deleted the whole library, so when you ran the plugin again it was not aware of what was in the folder before. You'll need to delete the duplicates manually.

Hi Luke, I already thought this.

But some questions came Up:

 

1) when I delete the Plugin why not removing the collections, that the Plugin has created?

 

2) why can't the Plugin recognize the collections in the DB? (Based on the Name)

 

3) why hasn't the plugin created duplicates for all collections?

 

4) at least, when I remove the collections library, I would expect, that my collections should be deleted from the DB...

Not everyone wants that.

They're not in the DB anymore because you trashed the library.

There is no difference for a Collection the plugin makes and a Collection you make via the UI.  So you can not just nuke collection if some uninstall the plugin.

 

I guess on question would be, do your duplicate collections have the same path?

 

But when I did the same steps as above none of my collections were duplicated.

I will have a Look Info the DB File later to Check this.

I've Just created a Backup and generated a nee DB File to geht rid of the duplicates.

 

I will try to reproduce this again.

If you could not reproduce this behave, I think, I might know what the difference was... :)

 

Will Report again later.

OK, probably, I haven't waited until the library scan was completely finished.
Just tried the procedure with the current beta version, and everything seems to work as expected with this version.

 

maybe, I have restarted emby or reinstalled the plugin too early to get the duplicates.

 

sorry

We just need to make it so that it's not possible hack and create these situations in the first place.
