I believe I found a bug in how Collection counts are handled. For example, if I have a collection containing 6 movies and 2 of them are restricted to an end user (due to sharing restrictions), the main collections screen will display a count of 6 titles. However, once the user navigates into the collection, the proper number of collections (4) will be displayed.
Same glitch in (smart) collections where you set a limit for the number of items to display. I have a smart collection that shows 172 items on the collection tab, but properly shows only 25 when you view the actual collection. The automatically created poster also selects images from all items, so the poster is usually not very accurate.

Counting the true number of items (to which the current user has access) takes time.
This time is not spent when building the overview page. Otherwise it’d take ages, particularly if there are more than a few collections to display.
Once you dive into one particular collection, the time is spent to count the actual number of available items. But this is faster, because it affects only one collection.
Makes sense?

It might make sense in the case of the OP, but in the example I gave with a limit to number of items, all users see the same 25 items because it’s not based on a particular user’s restrictions or watched status, etc. The limit is put there for the simple reason there is only 25 items shown, and everyone sees the same items.
I don’t imagine many people would actually notice the difference in counts, anyway.
