Auto Box Sets oddity


Shad

Recommended Posts

I have a few instances where movies appear both in the main listing and in the box set.  Take for instance the Austin Powers collection in the screen shot..  The Spy Who Shagged Me appears in the collection, but also appears in the main listing.  I have this happening on several collections, but not all.  Any ideas?

 

Also, I was wondering how everyone deals with special features discs and whatnot.  For example, the Star Wars box set comes with all the movies, but also 3 discs of special features.  I store everything as ISOs, so would like to include special feature discs in certain collections.  Any idea on how to do this?  Is it going to be a manual process for each special feature disc and collection?  I manually did it for the James Bond special Feature disc.

Did you manually create those collections with the old method of tagging the folder with boxset?

I don't think this really has anything to do with auto box sets.  I think it may be an issue with you having multiple "paths" to the same item and the logic that combines media folders into views maybe not weeding those out (guessing).

 

If you can provide specifics about how one of these is setup maybe @@Luke can help chase it down.

It's really just a straight forward setup.  I have a drobo-fs nas where the majority of my collection resides.  I have a second windows server with a large chunk of storage where the rest resides.  both have a movies share and are part of the same folder.   I suspect you are correct that it's not an auto box set problem.  I had tried deleting the box sets and they came back.  Ultimately what I did was move the offending movies out of the folder structure, deleted any MB files in their folders, deleted any trace of them in the metadata and then put them back in the shared folder.  They are now showing up correctly.
