Collections Question

[jasonmcroy 316]

So, I may just be being blind, but I thought there used to be an option to have Emby auto create collections without using the plugin for it. 

I re-installed the server when the new version was released and started back from the beginning. I checked the box to download metadata for collections but nothing was created. 

Do we need to use the plugin now?

It has been made part of Emby core, you'll find an option under each library settings with TMDB scraper enabled.

Do you mean this option?

Ah, ok, thanks for pointing that out again. I thought it was checked originally and I guess it wasn't.

Remember this is a per library option and you will have to Refresh search for missing on the library if you are enabling this option to update existing metadata.

You'll have to Refresh Metadata for existing items, newly added content will be automatically added to collections. Also, pay attention on Minimum collection size, set it as low or high as you prefer.

Thanks guys. I see that it hasn't really changed I just missed it somehow. 

Although I didn't realize you could just do a refresh and have it now add the collections. I did it the hard way before I read your responses and deleted the movies folder and re-added it! No big deal though.
