MediaMogal 19 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I like the idea of AutoBox, but am a bit worried about how it decides what belongs in a collection. Under Movie Series I currently have Alien / Predator Series, A Nightmare On Elm Street / Friday The 13th Series, Demonic Toys / Dollman / Puppet Mater Series, and Robin Willians series. I'd like to know if I can either tweak AutoBox to keep these collections as they are or if I can have AutoBox ignore certain forler and libraries?

Luke 37994 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hi, it shouldn't touch custom collections that you create, assuming those collections don't already exist on MovieDb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaMogal 19 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 OK cool, and about excluding folders? I have movies that don't have sequels loose in their own partition and movie series in their own partition in their appropriate folders.

Luke 37994 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I don't believe the plugin has any options to exclude folders, but it's not a bad idea for the future. thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaMogal 19 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 OK took the plunge, and for me anyway I'm better off manually doing my collections. Don't get me wrong it did a nice job, but besides the ones I listed above I have the Marvel Universe. It and the ones listed above were all split into different collections, and some items from my movies partition were made into collections. The later I never organized cause I never planned to add them to a collection. All of this would be no big deal to correct if one could select multiple collections for deletion in stead of one at a time. As it was even removing the plugin and restarting the server I still had to go in and remove all the collections it created. I won't say it wasn't worth a look, just that it doesn't suite my needs at this time. Thanks for the help and information on this anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8882 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 That is the controversy of a List vs a true boxset/collection, Marvel Universe is not a boxset/collection it is a list of movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but by the studio they all belong together, as the others I mentioned so that is how I have them filed. Don't get me wrong it is a great plugin. Just not suited for how I have those series. If there were a way to select multiple collections for deletion then I'd use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8882 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Okay terminology then Studio is not a boxset/collection it is still a list. But you should get your request when Emby adds Smart Playlists. There is a plugin in the plugin section right now if you want to take a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaMogal 19 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Let's just drop the convo and leave it at each their own like I was trying to do, thanks. Now to this Smart Playlist list if I test it and find I don't like it is it going to leave the items it created like AutoBox did? Thanks Edited September 22, 2020 by MediaMogal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would ask the developer in the thread in this forum for the plugin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaMogal 19 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) hey @Luke looks like I'm going to have to search the forum for "Smart Playlist" cause I'm not finding it listed in the plugins.

MediaMogal 19 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Gave the AutoBox plugin some more thought and decided that I'll use it after all. It won't be that many collections it creates that I have to remove.

PenkethBoy 2066 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 fine - taking offense at giving you the link you could have found on your own by either searching or going to the plugin sub forum and its the 7th from the top i- s very thin skinned of you each to their own i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
