Traxxus 5 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Has something changed with this? Seems like I can't add collections to collections anymore. I like making larger collections of franchises, Middle Earth Collection for instance (https://i.imgur.com/y17Jztl.png), Marvel Cinematic Universe (https://i.imgur.com/uJgeP2c.png), etc. But it seems like the add function is gone? Was this an intentional change, or am I missing something? Edited April 16, 2020 by Traxxus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 yes it was remove a while ago - several months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traxxus 5 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 That's super unfortunate, I really like having everything sorted and tidy, and was one of the things my friends who use Plex was super jealous of. A definite step backwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 do your existing collections still show the sub collections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 This will can be done easily via the API, all you need to know is the Collectionids. Haven't test but manually editing the collection.xml should work also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobWayBro 27 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 There is still a convoluted way to do this. First, in the Movie library, click on the triple dot menu and make sure you have "Group items into collections" is enabled. Next, select a movie not in a collection (check box on the upper left of the movie image) then go to a Box set collection and select the checkbox Now, click on the triple dot on the bar at the top and you now have Add to Collection as an option (if you only select a box set, this option is not available) Finally, go to the collection these were added to and remove the single movie you selected (if it was not desired to be in that collection). This works for me still. (version 4.4.2.0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Pity your work around does not work in Beta - so i guess Luke fixed that loophole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Pity your work around does not work in Beta - so i guess Luke fixed that loophole It can still be done via Folders, but yes via Library you have no option on collections multi-select. But could be that I have actual folder collections. Will have to test on a test machine. Edited April 16, 2020 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 the collection multiselect is there still in beta - using the above trick - it just filters out the collection being added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKKK 4 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) I am glad I found this this thread, just spent some time wondering where this option had gone. I am on V4.4.2 and the work around doesn't work for me, the single movie gets added but the collection doesn't If the devs read this then please add this feature back as I for one use it a lot. eg Childrens Collection contains Disney collection , Shrek collection etc, a total 50 collections. My Disney collection contains over 20 collections. Most of these collections were generated with auto box sets plugin. p.s. I am a bit late to the 4.4..2 "experience" as I am on a nas and had to wait for the update to come through official channels.

Luke 37062 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The multi select was updated to only show applicable commands based on what you've selected, so that's why this has happened. You can still edit the xml file or use the emby api. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37062 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hardly a user friendly experience then Right but it's not an officially supported feature. If and when we're able to get to that point then it will be available in the UI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
