Movies in collections not being detected

[colfin22]

Description

I have 3 libraries, TV shows, Movies and Collections but no movies that are in collections are being marked as available. Should Collections be a library item at all? It's not very clear. I've removed Collections to see what the results are after a scan

Version

1.6.0

Steps to Reproduce

I have 3 libraries, TV shows, Movies and Collections but no movies that are in collections are being marked as available. I've un-selected the collections library and forced a scan but the issue still persists. See uploaded screenshot, all of these movies are in my library but as they are in a collection none are marked as available. Logs of the last scan with collections enabled attached, you can see from the scan it's not detecting any of the movies in the Fast collection

Yeah it's a bug with the jellyfin api we use. There's a workaround for this. Do not use automatically collection option in the library of jellyfin and instead use tmdb boxsets plugin (you'll need to remove all your current collections and do a sync before you turn on this plugin)

[colfin22]

Sorry, I'm not clear on my actions? I delete the collections library item in jellyfin, sync this app, then install and enable tmdb boxsets in jellyfin and run a scan to get my collections library back?

Remove all your collections. Sync in jellyseerr. Install tmdb boxsets and let it handle collections

[colfin22]

Thanks, underway

[colfin22]

Yeah, that worked. Thanks

[ristein]

Remove all your collections. Sync in jellyseerr. Install tmdb boxsets and let it handle collections

This is working for me.

But the tmdb boxsets plugin only shows collections in another library called collections. I liked the functionality of grouping movies into collections in every library. Would be great to have a fix for this some day

You literally can do that... Tmdb boxsets or automatic collection both will create a collection folder. But you CAN still display collections in its own library. I'm literally doing that.

[ristein]

you are right. I just tested this by downloading movies from one collection I did not have before and Overseerr finds them even though they are inside a collection as soon as the second movie arrives. Awesome. I was just confused and did not expect this to be working because now I have the same setup as before when it wasn't working.

[allthesebugsv2]

So I have always been using TMDB Boxsets for collections (and never JF's native feature); still any movie in a collection was not picked up.

I had the library display option "Group films into collections" enabled as shown by @Fallenbagel. I then disabled this option, did a re-scan of the library in jfseerr, the number of movies during the scan went up and every movie was added properly.

However, I prefer this option to be enabled. As soon as I enable the option again, the number of movies during a scan goes down again. The movies inside collections still remain in the library but I think this is only because media availability is not yet merged (https://github.com/Fallenbagel/jellyseerr/pull/522). I fear that as soon as that feature is merged, the movies from collections will be gone again with "Group films into collections" enabled

You could test out with that pr. But the thing is, I also have that option enabled:

[allthesebugsv2]

Yes, I saw that in your post. However, I can reproduce this by

• disable "Group films into collections"
• all movies are added
• remove the data for a single movie in a collection from jfseerr
• enable "Group films into collections"
• re-scan the library
• the movie is not re-added

Disabling "Group films into collections" allows for the movie to be re-added again. As I said I've only ever used the TMDB Boxset plugin. To debug I have uninstalled it, removed the existing collections library and then re-installed the plugin. Still, behavior is as described above. I am using the latest stable in docker.

Unfortunately I have tried that too and can't reproduce it. I am on develop tag though

Okay, then I'll try again once the next update is released. And I really appreciate your help, thanks!
