Can't add Collections to collections

[invertedknife 13]

I want to add the Marvel individual collections (Iron Man, Captain America, etc.) to a bigger all MCU movies collection but can't seem to be able to do so.

 

weirdly i can add ant man and avengers collections but not others...

Why do you feel that you can't do this?

Why do you feel that you can't do this?

i mean when i try it won't work. only the ant man and avengers collections show up. the others don't

[Luke 42078]

Can you discuss the example in more detail? Thanks.

[invertedknife 13]

I have a marvel cenematic universe collection that I created manually. I want to add all the marvel movies I have as well as the marvel movie collection. I am able to add the marvel movies just fine. But when I add marvel movie collections to the mcu collection I am unable to. Expect for the ant man collection and the avengers for some reason. The log I attached is me doing just that.

[Luke 42078]

What do you mean by unable to? What happens when you try?

[invertedknife 13]

Nothing? Like it will say item saved or item added or something but doesn't show up in the collection

[Luke 42078]

Ok, please try again with the next release of Emby Server, thanks.

[Luke 42078]

Thanks @@RobWayBro !

yeah...i don't know what to say. when i try to add certain collections (not limited to the marvel ones) they don't show up.

I just tried to make a new collection containing collections and it was created in \Emby-Server\programdata\data\collections folder but does not show in web client UI.

yeah i had the same problem as well. when i try to create a brand new collection, it won't show up. but the folder gets created. i am not sure what collections can be added to collections but some work and some don't.

Has the path changed for the beta?  On the 3.5.3 stable release the collections folders are created in c:\users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\data\collections (no programdata in the path)

No it depends on how old your installation is.  Your paths show a installation before system/programdata folder separation.

I have the same issue.  Some Collections are able to be added to other Collection. For others the the right-click 3-dots option to "add to Collections does not appear. Here are examples.....

 

1. This shows that I have successfully added existing Collections to another Collection "Marvel Universe"....

 

 

 

2. However, when I try to add "Spider-Man" Collection, the option does not appear...
