osak00006 12 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys, Loving Emby and almost have it exactly how I want it. Unfortunately, I'm running into an issue where my custom movie Collections keep reverting back to TheMovieDB default Collections. For example, I completely remove the default Captain American Collection and Iron Man Collection. Then I create a new Marvel Cinematic Universe Collection containing all the movies from Marvel, including Captain American and Iron Man films. This works temporarily. Then, after a few hours, the Captain American Collection and Iron Man Collection respawn and the Captain America and Iron Man movies disappear from my Marvel Cinematic Universe Collection, reappearing in their respective Collections. How can I fix this? Emby Server logs over the last 12 hours are attached. If you need any other logs or troubleshooting steps, let me know. Thanks! server-logs.zip Edited September 7, 2016 by osak00006 1
Luke 42080 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Hi, this is because you installed the AutoBoxSets plugin. Remove it if you don't want this behavior.
osak00006 12 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) My ideal scenario would be use AutoBoxSets, but have it respect manual customizations... If that's not possible... Best option for me, with my customizations, would be... Use AutoBoxSets to do the initial scan -- the heavy lifting -- and then disable it and manually manage from that point forward?

osak00006 12 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 Yes that's correct. An option to respect manual changes to Collections -- via AutoBoxSets -- would be amazing! Who should I talk to about that request? Is the add-on done by the Emby Team or community?
FrostByte 5392 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Can't you just lock the item from changes using the manager?

osak00006 12 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 Found it. Testing now. I'll report back after I test with AutoBoxSets re-installed. The more I learn about Emby, the more impressed I am.
Luke 42080 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Locking won't help here because the situation is boxset created -> user deleted -> comes back. Once it's deleted by user there is nothing to lock.

FrostByte 5392 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Ok, maybe he can let the plugin create it's boxset then modify that one and lock it. No need to delete the original He could rename the automatic one to whatever he likes Edit: though I guess that wouldn't stop the other one from being created. My bad Edited September 7, 2016 by FrostByte
Happy2Play 9782 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 I believe the only way this will work in this situation is removing the CollectionId and locking the movie metadata, then creating this custom collection. The boxset plugin won't touch the movies anymore do to the missing collectionid.
FrostByte 5392 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 How about an .ignore file? Do those work with collections also? Let the autobox creates it's collection and then add that file.
Happy2Play 9782 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 How about an .ignore file? Do those work with collections also? Let the autobox creates it's collection and then add that file. No that would tell emby to ignore the media altogether. 1

The boxset plugin won't touch the movies anymore do to the missing collectionid. Brutal process, but it does seem to get the job done -- I'll report back if I see any issues. Thanks so much!

osak00006 12 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 Well darn... I'm batting .000 Probably should not try and help anyone any more today I still appreciate the response. Helped me learn a few more bits about how Emby functions Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk 1
