cw-kid 192 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Hi I added a new movie title to the library and this now makes a collection of two titles. I went in to the Auto Box Sets plugin and pressed the "Refresh Box Sets" button, but looking in the library later I cannot see that it has created a new Collection for these titles. The option "Create BoxSets only if I have at least this many of its movies:" is set to 2. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks.
ebr 16185 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Does the new movie have a tmdb collection ID? What is your metadata source?
cw-kid 192 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Posted September 13, 2017 Hi there. Yes the new title added has all the ID's populated: External IDs: IMDb Id: tt3393786 TheMovieDb Id: 343611 TheMovieDb Collection Id: 403374 Thanks
Solution cw-kid 192 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Solution Posted September 13, 2017 However looking at the first film from 2012, it does not have the TheMovieDb Collection Id field populated. Perhaps that is the problem ? 1
cw-kid 192 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) OK I manually added the collection ID in to the first film's info in Emby. I then ran the refresh box sets again. And now I have a new Collection in the movie collections view. So how is this normally handled ? Obviously in 2012 when this first film was scraped in to Emby, there was no collection hence no collection ID number. Edited September 13, 2017 by cw-kid
Luke 42080 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 The plugin depends on your movies having Tmdb Collection Id's, so yes that's something you need to make sure of.

And how do I do that? I'd presumably have to re-scrape the entire movie collection for new metadata like these collection IDs. Thanks
Luke 42080 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 You may not need to do anything, but if you're noticing some collections not being created, then this gives you an idea of how to correct it.
cw-kid 192 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Posted September 13, 2017 In the past it always seemed to work on its own and created new collections without user intervention other than maybe pressing the refresh button to set it going now and again. But there well could be collections it has missed and I have never noticed etc.
Happy2Play 9781 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 One reason I like nested collections for this situation.
ebr 16185 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 One reason I like nested collections for this situation. In that instance, you would have to go find the previous movie and physically move it to a new location. How is that easier than than simply refreshing its metadata?
Happy2Play 9781 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 In that instance, you would have to go find the previous movie and physically move it to a new location. How is that easier than than simply refreshing its metadata? Well the media is already that way in my situation.
ebr 16185 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Well the media is already that way in my situation. But, in his example, it wouldn't be. Single movie #1 comes out no collection ID and it is all alone in your configuration. A few years later movie #2 comes out. Now, you either have to move movie #1 (your situation) or ensure it has the new collection ID (auto situation). In any other scenario, Auto Box sets will just pick it up without anything else happening (no matter where the new movie is ).
Happy2Play 9781 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 I know what you are saying, but when movie #2 comes out Collection folder is made and both movies are put in it to stay organized.

Just to throw in an extra complication, and the one that made me so freaking happy to stop doing this on disk, the drive holding movie 1 is full. Now you have to move the movie to a new storage location to create a collection...

Deathsquirrel 745 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Well Drive Pooling resolves that issue. Tell that to my 21TB array with about 50GB free at the moment.
Happy2Play 9781 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) Tell that to my 21TB array with about 50GB free at the moment. OT: Well I got my 18TB/2TB free and 38TB/7TB free. And all I have to do is add another drive at any time. Edited September 13, 2017 by Happy2Play
Overseer 66 Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Isn't this the case of the option "Automatically refresh metadata from the internet:" for the library is set to NEVER. Should the OP set it to some other option to allow automatic metadata updating?
Luke 42080 Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Depends on how much he wants that vs. the slower library scans it will bring.
