Allow Collections to hide items in a library list.

[lordkarl 1]

I would like to see collections (or a new Groups option) to allow you to hide the items in the Collection/Group in the library list but have a Collection/Group Icon in that list that when opened displays the items in said Collection/Group.

This would allow easier navigation of the library (less items to scroll through) and keep like items in the same place. 

 

Thanks

Sorry but that is what the per library option Group items into collections already does, unless I have misunderstood the request.

That doesn't do it on my LG WebOS client or the emby-theater client on linux (probably not official). With that checked browsing the movies still shows all 24 James Bond movies and no collection/group icon at all. What am I doing wrong?  It doesn't even do it in the folders tab, not the preferred method of browsing but even doing it that way nothing is grouped. 

Those collections are in the collections folder but that is not what I am talking about. Would like those icons located in the library browse window and all the contents of those collections removed from said browse window until the collection icon is clicked. 

Thanks

Karl - hoping I am missing something obvious.

Unless you have have a client issue or you have different Filters/Sort order items do get grouped.  Overlay if from CoverArt plugin.

What is your library sort order and do you have any filter options enabled?

grouped

ungrouped

 

Folder tab is exactly that your folder structure and has nothing to do with other tabs.  (but does a have group in to collection option but I don't uses as I already have that folder structure)

I have no images in this folder, so Emby used first movie in folder and folder icon is washed out do to white on white.
