Collections no longer displaying year of movies?

[escapist1234 5]

I've recently updated to 4.4.2.0 and wondered why the decision was taken to remove the release year shown under movies/TV shows within Collections? Any plans to reintroduce?

Hi, we got a number of complaints about it from users not understanding what the years meant.

 

It might work if you manually enter the year into the collection.

Who does not know what the item year is suppose to represent?  This is not about said Collection having a year,  each item should still present a year.

Exactly this - I'm not worried about the Collections themselves having a date, but please bring dates for the items within a collection!

Just inside collections? They understand it's the year of release everywhere else, but then they get confused when looking at a collection?

 

These people need help.

@@Luke, if the collection contains items that normally display years under the item, it makes sense to show it in the collection too.  Presumably the problem comes up when viewing collections of mixed items where some items don't display a year normally, such as TV shows.

 

If possible, I'd like to see the UI at least show years when a collection only contains items that normally display years.  My collections are only movies.  Movies show years outside collections so I'd like them to in the collection too.  I'd understand if I had a mix of movies and TV that the year got dropped as the UI cut down to lowest common denominator.

If it's in the metadata of the collection I believe it will show.

I don't see an option in the metadata editor for this but if you get me directions I'm more than happy to test.

 

The only option I saw was an option to put in a year for the collection which doesn't let the movie release year show under the movie title in the collection view.

This is about items years within a collection not the collection itself as show about.

 

But for clarity here is what is seen within the collection.  Items missing release year.

 Hi,

 

Before latest update, collections had release year also written out after the title. Is it possible to get it back?

Ok so we're talking about the year of each item. Yes we can restore that. Thanks.

Hello,

in global libraries, under the title movies, i've enabled the option for display the release year, and i see that

 

if the film goes in a collection, when i go into the collection, i see only the movie title, the release date disappear, though  the display Year option is enabled.

anyone know if this thing is solvable?

 

thank you
