"Group items into collections" isn't working.

This problem occurs both on my TV box and in the web browser. Herr is an example. Alien shound be showed as a collection

I am using the following Hardware/ Software
Synology NAS DS218+. DSM 7.3.2-86009

Emby-Server 4.9.4.1.

Thomson Google TV Streaming Box, Android 14

enby Android TV-Version: 2.1.23g

emby Android Version: 3.5.16

I have bought the premiere key!

What is your Movie library setting for Collections? 

As Collections are metadata driven if the metadata does not have the <set> node to create the collection Emby can't group them.

Does the media show correctly in the Collections tab/library?

[Kickaha0268 4]

No, of course not.

I started refresh Metadata. Because there are many movies (1701) it will take a while. I will give you updated.

Thanks for your advice.

Edit: I forgot to tell you: I read "Revamped Grouping Into Collections" on https://emby.media/community/index.php?/blogs/entry/447-announcing-emby-server-40/.
I didn't knew that I have to do your mentioned settings.

Now I have collections. But no Images...

Do you have an idea how to get images?

Yes.

I have changed settings (see screenshot) and started Refresh Mediadata for one collection. Now I have a picture for this collection. I will now refresh Mediadata for all my movies (again). I will keep you updated.

 

 

[Kickaha0268 4]

Edit: I started Refresh Mediadata with the following settings. I found out images has worked with previous settings but only for 2 collections.

[Luke 42077]

Are you getting images now?

[Kickaha0268 4]

No. It looks like same settings for downlaoding images are wrong.

If I refresh Metadata for a single collection imgage will be downloaded. Do you have an idea which setting should be adjusted?

Edit: I have 157 collections.

Added number of collections

[Luke 42077]

What setting to do what, get an image automatically?

 If that’s what you’re asking then please try a new collection and see if that gets an image.

[Kickaha0268 4]

Sorry for my late answer.  What I found out: It looks like emby is recognizing all collection correctly. But emby doesn't download the complete metadata and images.

Example: Alien Filmreihe. https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/8091-alien-collection

I then ran the Refresh Metadata function within the collection (see screenshot, around 1:28 PM) and emby then downloaded missing data like overview.

After refresh MetaData:

HI, is this a new collection that you just added?

[Kickaha0268 4]

No.

I decided to create a fake collection. I added a "Zoomania 2 (2025).ts" file. emby was able to create the collection correctly.

How can I get emby to recognize my collections correctly?

[Neminem 1518]

You have not show you how you have set this up.

If it set to 2 minimum and its a 2 movie collection then it will not show up until you add the sequel.

[Kickaha0268 4]

As I already posted, collections are now being created. But in most cases, things like description and pictures are missing.

If I manually refresh metadata within a collection missing data is downloaded. Since there are many collections, I want to do this job automatically.

 

[Kickaha0268 4]

EDIT: I decided to do this job manually. 158 items, a minimum of 3 clicks per collection....

It would have been nice if this could have been done automatically. I hope that all meta data will be downloaded for new collections

Hi, please let us know what happens. Thanks.

[Luke 42077]

Also by the way you could have refreshed them all in bulk using the mutli-select tool.

I didn't know multiple selection was available. It would have saved me a lot of time.
