TheTVDB Box Set id - Rubén Navarro López - 2025-04-03
Hello,
I am still looking ways to improve my jellyfin instance, with collections or playlists (I already wrote for th¡s, because for me, is not working...)
I know about the plugin about tmdb box sets, and I am using it. But I noticed that TVDB has better lists, more accurate to what I need, and every single media has it's TheTVDB Box Set id field. It can be used somehow? or do we need to wait until a plugin is developed?
If not, I would need to do it manually and I have a lot stuff
Also, I noticed that you can do a collections of tv shows, but you can't see the collection created on tv shows library (I have that option enabled).
Thanks in advance

If you need more versatile collections, including for TV shows, I think you can use a 3rd party plugin called "Collection Import".
https://github.com/lostb1t/jellyfin-plugin-collection-import
It does require you make an account on a site called "mdblist", which is where you make the collections for the plugin to then import.

Yes, I have this one, and it's very useful, but I just wanted to know if there is a plugin similar to TMDB Box Sets that, instead of using the TMDB Box Sets ID, uses the TVDB Box Sets ID, as shown in the screenshot.
The main reason I'm asking this is that you can create a collection of only TV shows, but it doesn't appear in the TV Shows library, at least for me. I have the option to show collections in libraries activated, but it only works in the Movies library. I think this could be because of the TVDB Box Sets ID, or maybe it's not meant to be used the way I'm describing.

The shows library cannot group shows by their collection in the library view like it does for movies.
BUT, the PR that adds this functionality was merged and it will be a feature that will be part of 10.11.
