Is it possible to view a list movies in a collection?

[zBernie 16]

I have several collections and was wondering if it is possible to view all of the movies contained in a collection.  I looked at the Emby backup files and found the file below, but it doesn't contain the movie names.

\\ds418\Backups\Emby\Emby Backup - 2020-10-08 02.0.0 - Auto\library\Collections\options.xml

You would need to look in Data path: /volume1/Emby/data/collections

I don't seem to have that path:

root@DS418:/volume1# ls -1

Sorry I do not know Synology, I was just going off the data path I found in Synology log.

You must have it. Maybe the system user you're using doesn't have permissions to that folder?

No, don't have it.  As root I just did a "find -iname '*emby*'  |  out.txt" from the root on down, and there is no file with the name "collection".  Maybe it goes by a different name?

I've attached the EmbyServer.log.  Also, here's a list of other Emby log files.

That looks like a terminal log. You can get the emby server log from the emby web interface.

I think this is it.

I found references to the movies in my Halloween collection on my Synology NAS as shown below. 

To digress slightly, I use the Emby backup plugin.  I could not find any references to movies in any collections in these Emby backup files.  My question is, if I restored Emby from a backup, how would it know which movies to restore to a collection?

Hi, Im using the latest version of Emby server and would like to have a list per collection of which video files are in that collection, or vice versa, a list of the collections a video is in. I suppose this info is only available in the database. Is there a sql query I can do to extract this info or is there an API call ?
The info above only states that it is store in the database, not how it is extracted.

Never mind, I wrote a Ruby script that does some API requests to do the job.

HI, sounds good. API is what I would have suggested.
