Collection Meta

[ZAIAC001 6]

Hello!

What am I doing wrong?

I have two TV series.

I added them to the collection.

I set the tmdb ID of the first series in the collection to the collection.

But the images are coming from movie with the same tmdb ID.

I'm using ID 82684.

Why would you do that? What were you expecting would happen?

No, it does not work in that way. 

TMDB Collections are movie sets. And items are queried by type, i.e. movies/shows/collections. 

By inserting TV show TMDBId to collection, you were reaching for endpoint

https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/82684

which doesn't exist hence is redirected to

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/82684-chasing-mavericks

and that is the metadata/artwork you've got downloaded. 

For custom collections, you need to add metadata/artwork manually, without any IDs and taking care that it is not named as an already existing collection on TMDB as its metadata/artwork will be nevertheless downloaded in that case.
