    Can someone help me out? I've been reading through the documentation and there appears to be basically nothing on Collections. I'm trying to group a bunch of movies into some Collections so we can quickly reference the media.  It seems to work fine but the bland square with tiny text under it isn't exactly appealing from a UI perspective. There are options for each Collection like "Edit images" but that doesn't seem to do anything. It leads to the option to upload my own stuff or "Search" and search... well it doesn't seem to do anything. I just get this popup:

       


    Anyone offer some advice because this seems overly complicated. Not to pull the old trope here, but what would be convenient is if the Collection just defaulted to the way Plex does it and pulls up images from the media in the Collection. 

    Anyway, thanks!

    You need to install the TMDb Box Sets plugin from the catalog, it's different from the one installed by default. After it's installed you can go to Dashboard->Scheduled Tasks and manually run the "Scan library for box sets task".

    You appear to have linked to a thread commenting on an issue with the Box Sets plugin that doesn't appear to have any resolution. Was that what you intended?

    I did install it and it kinda worked for like movie collections. But it doesn't appear to have any effect on my customer collections and produces the same error as the thread you linked to.

    To need to unlock the collection first if you want to edit the images manually. Just don't try to identify the movie, there's a bug that deletes the file entries in the xml file. All collections are saved in xml files in your config/data/collections folder. I recommend you backup that folder.

    Demonstrated here:

    I'm not sure I understand. None of that is what I am experiencing.
