    I currently have 10.11.5 installed on a Windows 11 system.

    All but a few of my collections are not showing as collections, and the NFO file is not being parsed and entering the collection ID into the metadata.

    Here is just one example...

    Movie Folder
    Top Gun - Maverick (2022) {tmdbid-361743}

    Movie Name
    Top Gun - Maverick (2022) {tmdbid-361743} 2160p.mkv

    NFO file info set by Tiny Media Manager
      <uniqueid default="false" type="tmdb">361743</uniqueid>
      <uniqueid default="false" type="tmdbSet">531330</uniqueid>
      <uniqueid default="true" type="imdb">tt1745960</uniqueid>


    Metadata from Jellyfin
    IMDb Id
    tt1745960
    TheMovieDb Movie Id
    361743
    TheMovieDb Box Set Id
    361743

    I would expect that the TheMovieDb Box Set Id would be written as 531330 as it is in the NFO file and this would show up as a collection for Top Gun but it and well over 300 movies that should be added to collections are not being updated from there NFO files.

    This has always worked in the past so I am unsure what the issue with the new version could be.
    I do have the checkbox for Metadata savers selected for Nfo, and my current server which is version 10.10.7 shows more than 325 collections where the new server shows less than 20.

    So far I have added several of the correct collection id's to movies, but they are being overwritten by the movie id as soon as a new scan is made.

    Can there currently be a problem with the new version where it is no longer reading and updating the collection id's from the NFO files, or is there a new format it is looking for instead of the default from Tiny Media Manger the can fix this issue?

    Sorry for the log winded post, but any help would be great so i can finish migrating to the new version.

    There seams to be a problem at the moment at-least with people using Linux not sure about windows. you will ether haft to wait till they release a fix or downgrade it to an old version. You could also try unchecking themoveDB and just use the open movie DB seem to work for movies and aniDB for anime. does not work as well as ThemovieDB.
