How to hide empty movie collection?

[ruggy 2]

Kodi 19.4, Embycon 1.10.27 @TeamB

I've switched over from emby next gen to embycon because the sb tend to get out of sync periodically with next gen. So far the basics are working with Embycon as far as I can tell. However, when I browse the Movies section, it is not hiding collections with everything watched in that collection. Is there some option that I need to enable?

 

Also, unchecking "group movies into collections" doesn't seem to do anything?

Are you using local Kodi filtering to filter out watched movies? If so this is not going to work. The reason is Emby returns all the movies, you are doing the filtering locally and Kodi has the movies but just does not show them, Kodi does not know the collection is empty until you open it.

The main issue from memory is that Collections in Emby dont have a watched status. So the I build the the movie list with collections I dont know what the watched status of the collection is so can not set it.

I just tested this and it is working ok for me, turn it on and movies are in collections, turn it off and there are no collections.

It could be a data cache issue, open the add-on by navigating to it and select Add-on Actions, then select clear cached server data, do this between changing the setting.
