Hello,

since some days I have the effect, that in one Mediathek the collection section is not working correctly. It is not showing only the collections, but also all movies.

Can someone show me how to change it again, that “Collection” shows only colleciton, but not also movies? I searched for any setting and also in this Forum/Net, but did not find any clue.

Hello Trumpy81,

many thanks for your fast feedback. Just this is not the problem.

I have this setting done. Also, I changed it to “Disabled” and back again, no changed.

Just, again, the problem is NOT with the display in “Mediathek”, but with the Display in “Collection”. **Movies are shown in “Collection” tab.** I think this is something that should not be possible in general, but it is.

The picture has a collection shown for “Alien”, 6 movies included.  
This is working fine, just the “Tab” Sammlung = Collection is buggy here.

Yes, collections itself are working fine.  
Just the Tab “Collection” is showing not only Collecitons, but also movies.

Some movies have tags for collection, but most are empty, as it should be. This is working well, as you can see only the Alien-Collection, but not the single Alien-Movies. E.g. 300 is not included into any collection.

Also I wonder that also the filter headline is shown in Collection Tab. Even that I understand is not supposed to be?

Any logs needed?  
Any information I can give to solve this?

Many thanks.

Hi @trumpy81 and @BigWheel ,

I have created a new library and the issue is not visible there, even I have now all movies and collections setup as I prefer.

So, any interest still to have some logs or anything?  
Or can I delete that problematic library?

Thanks, Thorsten

Please go to the debug setting in the app and click on `Restore Defaults` and tell me if that helps at all.

if a new library works, possibly it is a database issue but not sure yet.
