Some movies are missing from "Movies" section but show in "Collections" section - JoshWebs - 2025-07-05

Hello, I'm fairly new to Jellyfin but couldn't find anyone else with this problem. I have over 300 movies in my collection, but when I go to the Movies library, it shows only 170, with nearly half missing. However, if I go to the Collections library, all of the movies are there in their respective collection. Some of the missing movies are entire collections while others are just a few movies from a collection. For example, the entire Harry Potter series is missing on the "Movies" page, but only one of the Avatar movies is missing.

I've been searching for a while and could not find anyone else with this problem. I'm sure this is either some bug or very simple setting to switch.

Thank you for your time,
JoshWebs

Do you have "Group movies into collections" enabled in Dashboard -> Display?  If so, turn that off.

Also, a possible culprit. Did you group any library folders? Found in the home menu customization:

Library Folders
Automatically group content from the following folders into views such as 'Movies', 'Music' and 'TV'
