Hi Jellyfin Community,
I'm seeking some assistance with a persistent issue regarding collection display settings in my Jellyfin setup.
Problem: The setting "Minimum number of items in a collection to show it" is missing from the "Edit Library" page for my Movies library (and other media libraries). This means I cannot prevent collections with only one item (created from TMDb Box Sets) from appearing in my library views, leading to a cluttered Collection section. I have tried clearing my browser cache and using different browsers/incognito mode.
My Setup:
Jellyfin Server Version:
Unraid OS Version:
Docker Container:
Docker
(This path has been recently corrected from a non-standard setup.)
Troubleshooting Performed & Key Observation: Initially, I had a non-standard appdata path setup for my Docker container, which resulted in a
During this troubleshooting, I noticed my Jellyfin installation does not appear to use individual XML files for library definitions. The

My Questions:
Any insights or guidance on how to enable this setting or prevent single-item collections from showing would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

data/data/
nesting within my config
directory. I have since followed guidance to correct this, and my Jellyfin data is now located at the standard /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-jellyfin/config/
path. During this troubleshooting, I noticed my Jellyfin installation does not appear to use individual XML files for library definitions. The
library/
folder, which typically contains [GUID].xml
files for each library, is absent from the expected location (/mnt/user/appdata/binhex-jellyfin/config/data/data/
) . This suggests that my library settings are stored directly within the library.db
SQLite database?To confirm this, here is the output of

(As you can see from the output above,
jellyfin.db
and library.db
are present, but there is no library/
folder.) My Questions:
- Is the "Minimum number of items in a collection to show it" setting expected to be present in the UI for my Jellyfin version/Binhex container setup?
- If not, is there an alternative way to configure this setting (e.g., via a hidden option, an API, or directly in
library.db
- though I understand direct DB editing is risky and not generally recommended without expert guidance)?
- Could this be a bug specific to the
binhex-jellyfin
container or my Jellyfin version?
Any insights or guidance on how to enable this setting or prevent single-item collections from showing would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
