How to get rid of the hundred of collections auto created?


Recommended Posts

When I first scanned my librairies, hundreds of collections - saga where created. I would like to know how to get rid of them in order to have only my own collections.

Thank you very much!  :)

Unfortunately, you will have to delete them in the UI to ensure all item metadata is updated to remove the metadata creating the collections.  But first you need to ensure the option to create them is disabled per library.

Also note you can still have custom collection with the import option disable.

Emby reads the <set> tag from item metadata if you write nfo file.

Ok, it will take time but I'll do it.

Also, it makes me see that this option is available in the browser app, but not in the windows app!  :)

Okay this has something to do with 4.6.7.0 and ET.  @Luke

So options are available connecting to beta server but not stable server via ET.  I would guess since this was introduce in beta it did not completely make 4.6.7.0 update.
