Movie Collections not showing for some users

[34by151 4]

I have been using Emby with 2 users and have auto box sets setup

I have 4 Libraries configured

Movie, TV, Pics and Music

All of these work correctly and I have the movie collections working 

 

I have setup 2 new users

They dont have access to the Pics library

thet have Movie,TV and Music enabled

Collections dont show for these users

 

If I give them

access to pics and not "all libraries" collections show up

access "all libraries" collections show up

 

Is this normal?

 

I would have expected collectiosn to show up when you have access to the movie library

Im using Version 4.8.7.0

Hi, do they have the Collections tab inside their movies library?

[34by151 4]

Yes 

Collections is available via the collections tab inside movies

 

Collections does not show up on the Home screen as a library

Will have to test but appears to be something wonky in Access.  But will guess it will be hard to reproduce.

Your question got me thinking and I have a work around

 

1. As admin edit the user

2. Enable each libray for the user

3. Login as the user and conform collections are present on the home screen

4. Login as Admin

5. Restrict the libraries to Movie and TV

6. Login as user and check collectios are still present

Not sure if it is a timing issue or what but I don't know of any way to not have access to Collections library once created beside hiding it via users Home Screen settings.

As removing access to every library still presents Collections and Playlists (assuming libraries exist).

In addition to the workaround above

 

I made some test users to see what happens

 

Created Test1 with access to only movie and saved

Crested Test2 with access to all and saved

Collections was no working for user Test2

 

Crested test3  with access to only movie and pressed save. Changed library access to only movie and pressed save

Collections were working for Test3

 

So as far as I can can tell you need to crest and save users with all libraries then go back and restrict

If you restrict before ptressing save the permisions issue comes up and you need to give them all acces, save then restrice and save again

Does not seem to be time related 

Seems to be you have to have saved the user at some point with all libraies actived for collections to show in home screen

So I get this correct the issue is actually with user creation applying restrictions correct?  

As I have never created a user without default settings then made changes afterwards.  Will test applying restrictions at creation.

 

But will suspect different results as I am on current release 4.8.8.0.

Thats correct isue only shows up when adding restrictions on creation

If the user has nexer been saved with all enabled they will nexer see collections

Can you update to current release 4.8.8.0?

 

As in my test creating users with no access on creation show Collections and Playlist libraries and making selective library access does not change that on creating a new user.

[34by151 4]

updating now will let you know

[34by151 4]

Resolved in 4.8.8.0

FYI im using the docker image lscr.io/linuxserver/emby:latest

 

Just for laughs rolled back to 4.8.7.0 and the issue returned

Went back to 4.8.8.0 issue fixed again

 

Thanks for your help

Yes there are access/parental controls quirks being worked out in 4.8.  But asking what platform was going to be the next question as I couldn't reproduce in either version .7/.8 on Windows.

[34by151 4]

For the full setup

 

Just converted from ESX enterprise to Proxmox 8.2

4 Dell Rack Servers

2 Equlaogic Sans

1 Equalogic drive shelf (not used for now)

 

Emby is running in Docker on a SLES15 VM

The VM is directly connected to the San via 2 dedicated 10gb links 

Storage multipath controlled via dell host tools

 

Emby is running in Docker using

the image image lscr.io/linuxserver/emby:latest

 

Emby also has Premiere avtivated
