Kodi - Weird collection behavior


Recommended Posts

Up till recently, I make a collection in my emby server and it shows up as a set in Kodi, no problems. Now, movies will randomly dissapear from the set. It's still fine in emby, but in Kodi movies will just randomly start showing up in the normal list of movies instead of being in the set. Often, the set is even using one of the missing movies as it's cover art. Anyone else having this issue? I'm using addon mode.

And if you launch the addon > refresh boxsets?

What happens after you perform a manual sync?  Is the problem fixed?  I used to get this issue a lot right after the collections were created, but it would be fixed after a manual sync.

a manual sync (repair database) fixes it, and then after a while it happens again.  it's not always the same movies the drop out of the collection after i fix it either.  it's random

thekingswolf, just out of curiosity, can you/have you turned on sets within movies (Settings - Media - Videos - Show movie sets)? The reason I ask is there is a possibility (I'm hoping!) we have a similar issue. I currently have 78 box sets/collections in Emby. If I look in movie sets in Kodi I see 21. It's been this way for me for over a year now.

 

However, if I turn on "Show movie sets" in Kodi, I can see all the "missing" sets at the beginning of my Movie collection, with the 21 other sets that are seen listed alphanumerically within the movie library as expected. 

 

The really odd thing is, I have 2 kodi installations. Like you, I sometimes "lose" a new collection, but a repair and refresh box sets fixes it on one kodi installation, but not the other.

 

Just thought I'd chime in incase this helps (either of us) diagnose the issue/s.

And does refresh boxsets work to fix this rather than a repair or manual sync? Let me know as I'm fixing bugs atm.

CashMoney, not exactly my problem man, close tho.  I do lose sets, but it's not always complete sets.  mostly it is one or several movies dropping out of the set randomly.  Kodi setting to show movies in sets is turned on.  

 

 

Angelblue, refresh boxsets does not work.

Thank you. Ok I'll look to fix fhis, at least the refresh boxsets. I'm not exactly sure why this is happening yet, so if you see it happen live, provide your Kodi log so it can be fixed at the source.

I don't think it has something to do with it, but to be sure I want to mention it here:

In the current stable version of Emby is a very strange collection behaviour for users that have no full access to all libraries. It's enough to disable the access to camera uploads (for example) to partially brake the collection listing (Kodi + web GUI).

Issue reported here https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/60833-legacy-collectionboxsets-gone-in-new-update/?hl=%2Bmovie+%2Bsets and here https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/61121-collection-problem-keine-auswahl-vorhandener-sammlungen/ 

 

So if you guys have limited the libraries rights to your user account, please beware of it that it can cause similar issues.

that makes sense, the account i'm using for Kodi does have full access tho.
