moviefan 187 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 At some point during a recent upgrade to either the server or Emby for WMC a "Collections" folder was added into my Emby interface for WMC. The folder is completely empty - even though if I click on collections from the web interface I have over 200 collections. Not sure how to troubleshoot this nor how to remove this folder from Emby... Any help? Emby for WMC Version: 3.0.298.0 Server Version: 3.0.5864.0
Luke 42077 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 have you checked emc settings? if i'm not mistaken it has a setting for that.
moviefan 187 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 Yes that was the first thing I checked. Maybe I missed a setting but I've reviewed the screens a few times and don't see any mention of collections.
ebr 16169 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 For clarification, is this at the top level, or underneath a movie library?
moviefan 187 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 For clarification, is this at the top level, or underneath a movie library? This is at the top level on the EHS. Not sure if this config screen helps....
ebr 16169 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Try turning off legacy browsing and using the grouping settings on the server user settings to achieve the same thing.
moviefan 187 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Yah just unchecking the legacy browsing fixed it for me. I know I had it enabled for a reason a while ago but looks like some changes have been made to allow it to work as it used to without it now. Cool! Still no idea why the collections folder all of the sudden appeared this past week but suppose it doesnt really matter. Thanks!
moviefan 187 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 Okay so I was wrong - I figured out the reason I had legacy browsing enabled. I want to have the Movies by Genre folder shown in my collection and this doesn't show up anymore when I disable legacy browsing. Is there any way to achieve this with the new mode? If not, can you help me figure out why this empty collections folder is showing all of the sudden.
moviefan 187 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 Another update....oddly after disabling and re-enabling legacy browsing the Collections folder now shows "Recently Added" items on the EHS. However, when I click into it it still shows no items. I am guessing this might be due to using the old manual collection format before you enabled the auto boxset or whatever you call it now. I prefer to organize my files in this way so hopefully can still continue doing this.
ebr 16169 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 The empty collections folder is something the server is spitting out in this instance. I think Luke is going to suppress it in a future update. The old file-system based box sets are not going to have all the features of real box sets...
moviefan 187 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Posted February 7, 2016 I'm not too concerned about all the features of boxsets. I do prefer to do them manually however both from a folder organization perspective as well as to create some of the manual collections I've created that aren't standard collections. I don't need the collections showing in Emby for WMC although I am okay with it being there if it works. If Luke suppresses it in a future update that would be a good solution as well. Thanks. 1
Tester 45 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I am having the exact same issue as moviefan
ebr 16169 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I am having the exact same issue as moviefan And have you tried turning off Legacy Browsing?
Tester 45 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Yes, I toggled it and the collections folder is still there. If you like, I have time this weekend, I can provide more details. Legacy Browsing OFF is not an option, I really dislike the EHS with this option off.. 1
ebr 16169 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Yes, I toggled it and the collections folder is still there. If you like, I have time this weekend, I can provide more details. If that is the case, that means you have the option in your user settings (web client user icon) to show a collections folder turned on. You can easily turn it off. Legacy Browsing OFF is not an option, I really dislike the EHS with this option off.. Why specifically? You should be able to achieve the exact same folder setup by using non-legacy browsing and the proper settings under grouping and enhanced presentation.
Tester 45 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Thx ebr, let me look into this since I have not spent much time on this in the past. I'll report back with findings.
moviefan 187 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 You should be able to achieve the exact same folder setup by using non-legacy browsing and the proper settings under grouping and enhanced presentation. If this is true how can I achieve a "Movies by Genre" folder with legacy browsing disabled?
ebr 16169 Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 If this is true how can I achieve a "Movies by Genre" folder with legacy browsing disabled? By enabling the sub views for movies. You will then get a genres folder within the movie folder.
moviefan 187 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 By enabling the sub views for movies. You will then get a genres folder within the movie folder. Can you help me find where I enable the sub views? I've clicked around the server a bit and don't see such an option. I am sure I am missing it but don't know where else to look.

moviefan 187 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 Click on your user icon (web client top right) to access your user display and homescreen settings Yes this is the very first place I looked. I don't see any mention of "sub views" or genres on either of these pages.

Tester 45 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) ebr, thank you, I was able to disable Legacy Browsing and then use the server side settings to get my old school EHS. However, the only issue I that I now no longer can see the favorites folder. Is there a way to enable this from the server side ? Edited February 15, 2016 by Tester
ebr 16169 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 No, favorites are not delivered globally by the server. They should show up as sub-views under movies and TV if you have those enabled though.
