After upgrading to 4.6.0.50, I was unable to change the media library Settings.

 

[THECOBRA 1]

In some earlier versions, the Modify Media Library Settings page had a Save button.The save button has been removed in later versions, but it will automatically save when the Settings are changed.But after upgrading to the latest version today, I found that all of my Settings changes were invalid.

If you haven't ran a full library scan please do that first.

Then retry editing a library.

Let us know if this makes a difference.

For example, after the Auto Box Sets plugin is cancelled, the setting needs to be changed in the media library. I tried to change the default 2 to 1, but the change was ineffective.

After you change it to ONE you need to do a library scan for the new collections to get created.
BUT BE WARNED, it WILL create single item collections but if you then change this setting back to 2 you will need to manually remove any collections you don't want.

You need to do more than just a library scan, you need to refresh metadata of existing content.

Did you make sure to read the help text at the top of the editing dialog?

@cayars can provide a screenshot.

I have executed these two items for many times (Scan Metadata Folder\Scan media library) according to your requirements yesterday, but I still cannot modify the Settings of the media library today.

@Lukethis is reproducible.  UI does not show change but options.xml does.  Changed to 4 backed out then entered again.  Restarting after change defaults back to 2.

Yes.I just found out what the problem is.I need to refresh the page to see the changes after I change the configuration.

Thought I did but yes refreshing the page does show the update.  But a manual page refresh should not be required.

Navigating somewhere else and back shows the change also.

And I think this setting （最小自动合集大小） should be a global setting, not a setting for a media library.

For example, if two movies of the same series are in two different media libraries, which media library setting should be followed at this time?

And, this setting shouldn't be in the TV Settings, it's a movie specific setting.

Good question as I know I have not tested this scenario.  But a quick test adding a provider collection item to three different libraries did make the collection, even though there was one item in each library.

Well TV can be put into Collections. But I would question the Collections library having this option.

Yup, I can reproduce. It will be resolved in a 4.6.1 update, but that's an easy workaround for now.

Movie Collection can collect data from tmdb, but TV Collection has no place to collect data.

And most of the TV collections are merged in seasons.
for example:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13653972/

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/34307-shameless/season/0

Resolved in 4.6.0.51 with my tests.
