Issue Playing Collections in Playlists

[Scott750 29]

In my Playlists, I have some movies that are grouped into collections. I can start playing a non-collection movie as "play all from here" and they play normally in sequence. But when ET gets to a collection, it stops playing altogether. Also when movies are grouped into a collection, ET only shows the main collection. It doesn't show individual movies of that collection. So I can't start Part 2 of the collection, I'm forced to start Part 1.

 

ET V3.0.1

Anyone?

Hi there, you will get a response. Thank you for your patience.

Just checking to see if this can be looked into?

[Luke 42078]

Yes it will be. Thank you for your patience.

@@Scott750, using the new Emby Server 3.5, i tested this by creating a new collection of three movies. Then I added that collection to a new playlist. 

 

I then tried playing that playlist and did not have any problems. Is this what you're doing?

 

@@Happy2Play can you reproduce this? I'm mostly interested in new playlists created on the 3.5 server. Thanks.

Yes this looks like a Theater issue as Theater lists Collection not items and stops when it gets to a collection, unlike the Web Client  Same results as @@Scott750

This is being corrected for Emby Server 3.6 so that when you add a Collection to a playlist, it will add the collection items and not the collection itself. This means you'll need to recreate these playlists, as the existing ones will continue to have this error. Thanks.

Good to hear @@Luke. Thanks for updating us. Is there a time frame for v3.6 to be released?
