Mutliple instances of collections and playlist displayed

[Jeffpyn 1]

Hi,

I had a hard disk failure and restored emby from a backup using the plugin. Emby was restored with multiple instances of all the libraries. I was able to delete and recreate the libraries resulting in single instances of the libraries, However the multiple instances of the collections and playslists have persisted.

things I have tried

• uninstalling and reinstalling emby
• deleting the metadata in the collections
• deleting and recreating the movie library

Any help would be appreciated

Hi, have you ran a full library scan yet after setting up your libs again?

[Jeffpyn 1]

thanks for the quick reply

I have hit the "scan library files" button on the library page assuming that triggers a full library scan

[Carlo 4561]

Let us know when that's finished and what results you see after.

[Jeffpyn 1]

No change after scan

[Carlo 4561]

What you can try now is hover you mouse over a collection and then select the 3 dot menu.
You should see a remove option to delete the library.

You can remove the playlists and collections and then run another library scan which should recreate just one of each.

I dont see a delete option

Will have to find the workaround link but Collections will not have a delete/remove option.

For Collections you will need to do this.

shutdown Emby
go to "Data path: C:\Users\jeffp\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\root\default"
delete that collections folder
start Emby
That should change the content type of Collections shown on Dashboard-Library to Mixed Content and allow you to remove them.

Yep, thanks for the Happy2Play. Remove is still good for Playlists but not for Collections on 4.6+.

[Jeffpyn 1]

Success! thank you both!

[Carlo 4561]

Nice, glad you got that handled.
