Cannot hide items in Smart Collections

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#: 1.41.6.9685
Player Version#: n/a

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set preference on Library > Advanced to “Show Collections and their Items” as the default.
  2. Use the Advanced Filters view to show a subset of programs in the Library.
  3. Use this view to create a Smart Collection.
  4. Set preferences on the new Smart Collection to “Hide items in this collection”, overriding the Library’s default.

Expected Behavior: The collection should be visible in the Library view, but the items that make up the collection should be hidden now.

Actual Result: The items continue to be listed in the Library view. The override of the Library’s default setting for Collections is not working.

Now, delete the test Smart Collection and make a normal Collection containing the same titles the Smart Collection had.

Try the same Collection view option (“Hide items in this collection”).

Result: Works as expected. The Collection is visible, but the items are now gone on the library screen for this Collection.
