That is exactly what I did fairly recently when I set up a new server. I simply forgot to turn that off during the setup process and I had way too many meaningless and useless collections. ex. There were 5 different collections for Godzilla. There should be only one and now there is. It should be noted that the default for automatic collections should be off but Emby seems to really think that on is the correct setting. But it was my fault and I know better so I cannot "blame" Emby for my stupidity, as much as I want to. But don't worry Emby I am quite sure I will find other things to blame you for so you need not feel left out. 1
IcedTea123 3 Posted September 24, 2025 Posted September 24, 2025 Using the multi-select on collections says it will delete them from my file system? Uhhhhh, no? Why would I want that? Is the wording bad, meaning it will just delete the pointers to the collection, or will it delete the underlying movies, which would be a BAD thing? At the least, the wording is not optimal. 1

IcedTea123 3 Posted September 24, 2025 Posted September 24, 2025 I would throw in a message like "Delete Collections? No actual video files on disk will be deleted." Etc. 1
