Collections not building


Recommended Posts

Posted

Lastest Emby build.

On QNAp TS-451+
Libraries are all built.
Movie Library will not build Collections.
I have set "Group items into collections", but the collection view isn't being created.
Ideas anyone?

Collections are 'built' either manually, or by using the Auto Box Sets plugin.

Once you create some collections, you will see that view populated.

Note the plugin will become obsolete in 4.6+.  But yes collections are currently only created by the plugin automatically from required metadata.

Do you have TMDB enabled as a metadata provider?

Does your media have the TMDBCollectionid?

Hi, you have to have collections in your library in order for this to happen. Do you have any? Have you created any?

Hello.. Yes, there is TheMovieDb Id and a TheMovieDB Collection ID.

I've set the movies to refresh metadata and also rescan library...

hmm. I couldn't sworn it did it automatically in the past..maybe auto box sets.
Either way.. I seem to recall a setting from long ago that ..if more than two add to collection..(sic) but things are a bit fuzzy now.
So going forward we must create collections manually?

On my older windows 7 MCE / Emby setup..I had a lot of collections. maybe it was auto box sets...

thank you gentlemen.. manual it is.
If I enable autobox sets now.. will 4.6x still see the  prior 4.5x current collections list?
