PenkethBoy 2063 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 use the folder tab at the top and make sure that view is sort by title - then you will have the alpha picker - for Tv Shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My server vs TEST VM. Both are using the same folder stucture, same files, everything SAME. Why is one showing a folder icon? I'm stumped once again. This folder icon interferes with the everything and doesn't show, nfo/artwork/description/posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 stop cutting off the top of the screen shot as it allows us to see what page you are on - show the TABS at the top of the page. Post 1. cant tell why you have folder icons - a) have no idea what page you are on b) why do you have them sorted differently Post 2. Looks like you are comparing apples and bananas - but again no context on where the first screenshot came from and what you think is wrong. other than one shows special folder and one does not. Rather than keep posting random screenshots - give details of what screen you are on what options you have applied etc and what you dont understand - so we have a chance of answering you questions besides the screenshot. If you dont people will be less likely to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8252 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Without you showing the page headers in your image it is almost impossible to tell what or where you are looking in the UI. It is really hard to say, but one server shows it Identified as a Series and the other does not. Since the system is auto detect content type even though you are specifying one on the library it still has to figure out the layers of folder/series/season and if it does not see proper Season Folder it will get it wrong on occasion. Do you write nfo files and save images with media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speechles 1917 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Yeah. You are asking why is the folder icon not shown all the time when using folder view? Indeed.. I see the same problem and I can give a better example of this issue in Emby server. To reproduce the problem follow these steps: 1) Click Movie library 2) Click the folder tab 3) Notice everything showing on screen has folder icons. 4) Scroll down and notice as you do nothing else that was off the screen has the folder icon.. weird, right? This is consistent across apps the Roku and Web app behave identically. Edited September 11, 2020 by speechles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Interesting - for me with .25 and Chrome 85 i get all the folder icons for each movie - tried two diff libraries - on folder tab - can scroll up and down all stay visible however with TV Shows library i get no folder icons at all on folder tab hmm Edited September 11, 2020 by PenkethBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8252 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) If you are seeing a folder icon on a Series in folder view it means that series is not being identified at the series folder level. Or you have a nested folder structure. Same applies to Movies but primarily nested folder structure.

speechles 1917 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It was annoy me because for new features on the Roku I was assume it was my code not working properly and spent an extra week doing something thinking I had to rethink and refactor code to find the bug. Turned out it was the server when I finally decided to compare to the web app. It is indeed a perplexing problem. But once I saw the Roku makes the same exact move I figure once the server fixes this it fixes it on the apps too. Weird how it affects it differently for different people. Makes tracking this down even more fun, thrilling, and hours long fun...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 ah remember now - emby has the option to flatten folder structure <CollapseVideoFolders>true</CollapseVideoFolders> might be at play here also my movie folders have an extra layer before the movie folders as i make a folder to hold the movie that i then put the movie folder into - so i can group movies together although not for boxset purposes but to limit the number of folders to a degree in the root movie folder and have sequels next to each other - this may be having an effect on what i see. e.g. movies/avengers/age of altron/movie.ext e.g. movies/avengers/endgame/movie.ext 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1917 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It might have to do with multiple versions for movies when it shows them as folder icons. @Luke do multiple versions of a movie in the same folder with no sub folders show with a folder icon? It appears they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the difference for me and the folder icon inconsistency. Not sure about others though. My concern was that the Roku has to match the web app. Even if the web app is giving bad data the Roku has to mirror that. It cannot try to "fix" things and disobey the server. It must be the messenger only. The messenger doesn't alter the message. The apps are the servers messengers. Having items appear consistently on every Emby platform is the goal. Then as the web app changes and evolves the apps need to do very little to just fall in line and stay consistent. The only issue is when these folders are "virtual" by means of several versions of the same item in folder versus having actual other folders nested within that folder. I thought the folder icon showed nested folders. When a folder was in a folder. Turns out no. It also shows when there are multiple versions of an item in that folder with no other folders nested. This presents the challenge to users to know the difference. Using the same icon for both is confusing. Believe me. Should multiple versions in a folder use a different icon? I mean to alleviate the confusion.. It is hard to get this right. Edited September 11, 2020 by speechles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
