    Hi! First of all, thank you in advance

    (2025-03-19, 04:10 AM)bitmap Wrote: For the first issue, if you have networked storage (e.g., a NAS), you may want to disable the scheduled task that cleans up playlists on start. That may be where your items are going. If that's not the issue, please either recreate the issue or grab logs from where it has happened and upload them to privatebin.net while removing any sensitive info.

    Quote: Can I use these collections in another library with a custom title, without moving the media from its original folder?

    This doesn't make sense to me. Collections draw from existing libraries. You could go into the Metadata Manager and change the name "Collections" to "Bananas" but it will still draw from your existing library of media.

    Quote: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.

    Check the metadata on the incorrect movies. They may have been misidentified previously and now have a TMDB box set ID which pulls them back in. Deleting this excess metadata should resolve the issue. If not, rinse and repeat what I said above: logs may help to identify what's going on.

    1) This is the only info that I can get from logs when playlists are deleted:  https://privatebin.net/?9133736e3ec63145#64raFLB6ByukG5i6hAGX1Rn5CYDyj9SYLRF4kJcDqapx

    I do not have the scheduled task that cleans up playlists on start, I saw that and tried out if it's that the problem.


    2) I do not know if I explained it properly. I would like to use something like a custom collection, for example, "top movies of the week", and add 10 random movies. Create a new library, for example, "featured films" that is empty, and add the new collection to this library, and make it not visible to any other library than this.

    Would be like a Playlist, but as is not working for me, I'm exploring alternatives.

    3) I will be checking that, for sure. Do you know where do I have to look in the metadata to check that?

    Thanks again!
