collections only in collection ????

[cracyfloyd]

It is possible that all collections are generated only visible in collection and not in movies???

[meisnate12]

if the collection visibility is set to hide for all of them

I am having a similar issue. All of the smart collections are in the Library folder as well. I have Visible On with nothing checked. I have a "Kids Movies" library in Plex. My 7 year old logs into his local account on my LAN and goes to Library and has to scroll down about 7 pages until he finds the beginning of the true library. This should only be in Collections in my opinion. How can we change this? Thanks so much.

Yes i nthink. i see it when my sorting is title. Then i see the collections in movies and collection. when i use an another sorting then its only to see in collection.

Edit the collection and go to advance it's in there

[russellmoran99]

If I go to Movies --> Collections --> Oscars --> Edit --> Advanced --> change Collection mode to "Hide items in this collection". It still appears in my Movies --> Library. I can then go to Kids Moves --> Collections --> Oscars --> Edit --> Advanced --> and it is set as Hide items in this collection. I did not change it in Kids Movies, it was originally Library Default. I only changed it in Movies. Never the less, it appears in all my library sections. I'm not sure how to get this fixed. I sincerely appreciate your help.

No not hide items in this collection you need to select the hide collection option

[russellmoran99]

I may not be doing it correctly then. If I go to Movies and chance the collection advanced to Hide collection, then go to Kids Movies, it has taken the same input of "Hide collection." When I change one collection, it changes ALL collections. I'm not sure why. Can you be exact on how you change the individual collections per library? I may be missing a simple option. Thanks

Here's an idea, may or may not have any relevance. I created separate yml files for each library and the config file points to each .yml file. For example I have Movies.yml, 4K Movies.yml, Kids Movies.yml, 4K Kids Movies.yml. I copied and pasted the original Movies.yml content to each file. They are all identical. Do I need to change something in the files? I'm wondering if they're all linking the collections somehow?

[russellmoran99]

I believe I have found the problem/solution/fix. I have to go to each individual library and it the collection is set to Hide, I have to change it back to library default. Save that and then open again and change back to hide. This has to be done to each individually. This is now working. It might be a Plex bug?

this sounds like some kind of bug
