Chyron 256 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) I'm organizing my TV shows, and added the various Star Trek series to a single "Star Trek" collection. Although the collection does show up under the Collections media tab, it doesn't show up in TV Shows nor are the included shows hidden. How do I fix this? Edited October 11, 2018 by chyron8472
Luke 42079 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 The next release of the server will have an option for this. Thanks 1
Chyron 256 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Hmm... I could have sworn there already was an option for it, or at least that there used to be. So is this a bug, or am I just confused thinking that this was once a feature? Edited October 11, 2018 by chyron8472
ebr 16184 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Hmm... I could have sworn there already was an option for it, or at least that there used to be. In Movie libraries but not TV. The next release will have it in TV too.
Chyron 256 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Posted October 11, 2018 In Movie libraries but not TV. The next release will have it in TV too. Okay. But I can't figure out how to get my Movies to do it either.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Okay. But I can't figure out how to get my Movies to do it either. You mean the "Group movies into collections" setting? Dashboard-Library-Display Note this setting will move to a per library filter in next release.
Chyron 256 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Posted October 12, 2018 You mean the "Group movies into collections" setting? Dashboard-Library-Display Nope. It's not there.
Luke 42079 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Please try again with Emby server 3.6 once released. thanks.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Nope. It's not there. That would mean you are on a beta release and the setting has moved to per library on the three dot menu. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/62861-36043-grouping-into-collections Note this option doesn't appear to be visible via the online web app. Edited October 12, 2018 by ebr proper terminology
notla49285 48 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Why have people been requesting this?? It was much easier to change this setting centrally on the dashboard, now I have to go and change this setting for every library on every device, and apparently I can no longer view collections this way using the web app, which I use frequently. Edited January 3, 2019 by notla49285
Luke 42079 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I think ultimately you will find it easier because the option will be on the same screen as the content you're viewing.
notla49285 48 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 @@Luke is there any resolution for the web app or is this something that can be looked at?
Chyron 256 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 For the record, the reason why I previously didn't find this in the dashboard was because I was using Emby Connect at the time. The "Group movies into collections" setting does appear when accessing my server directly through the web app.

However, I've now tried the Roku since installing 3.6 beta and all films are outside of collections with no apparent option to change it back.

Thanks @@ebr, don't know how high it is on the list for others but this is a fairly major thing in my library at the moment, I have quite a few collections which are now split up and spread out randomly (as all movies are now in alphabetical order and not grouped). The current workaround is allowing users access to the Collections library but it is awkward.

Don't mean to sound petulant, but I'm not changing the metadata for all of my movies just because Emby have missed this off. I see your strategy, but I've tried this before on a smaller scale and in reality the movie list ends up looking a complete mess, most of my collections it's not just a case of "Movie", "Movie 2: The Sequel", "Movie 3: The Other Sequel", so when initially looking at the full list where collections are grouped it doesn't look like it's in order at all until you look properly at the titles. I trust Emby devs to sort this fairly soon. Edited January 4, 2019 by notla49285
Luke 42079 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 What exactly is not in order? The movie library? Or the contents of a collection?
ebr 16184 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 The Roku beta published today has this option now. You need to turn it on in each grid where you want it. Thanks.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 What exactly is not in order? The movie library? Or the contents of a collection? This all goes back to custom sort order in collections as sort title creates issues when items are not grouped into collections.
