Hello everyone!
I have two questions regarding collections.
In a previous post, I mentioned an issue with playlists: they are being deleted after a Jellyfin scan. I also commented on this GitHub issue, which I managed to reopen since I'm not the only one experiencing this problem: GitHub Issue #12008.
The main reason I need this to work is that I want to set up something like "Movies of the Week," seasonal recommendations, or similar curated lists. Playlists would make this very easy, but for now, they aren’t working for me.
In my setup, I have enabled the option to display collections instead of showing movies separately.
First question:
Can I use these collections in another library with a custom title, without moving the media from its original folder?
Second question:
Some of my collections aren’t keeping the correct title. Whenever I try to change them, they revert to the old title after a scan—or I’m not sure why. Additionally, I’ve seen movies appearing in collections where they don’t belong. Removing them doesn’t work, as they get re-added after a scan. I’ve tried enabling the "Block changes" option, but that didn’t help.
How can I achieve my goal without relying on playlists (at least for now)?
Thanks in advance, as always!
