After building over a dozen MOVIE collections on my server, the “collections” tab stopped working on the computer I use as a server, and simply became a mirror of the “library” tab. Collections still appear when I stream to fire stick or outside of home, but do not appear on the device I manage my …

Stopped working? The Collections tab is there but the items are just a duplication of your Library view, is that correct? Can you share a screenshot? Can you please provide the server and web versions? And your OS, please.

[Screen Shot 2021-06-16 at 8.08.53 AM] As you can see, the “collections” now functions the same as “library” Plex server Version 1.23.2.4656-85f0adf5b Plex for Mac Version 1.31.1.2262-74fdc6b7 (this is the only place I see the error, on the computer; collections still visible on fire stick and m…

Can you try to use another browser?

I’m not using a browser; I’m using Plex for Mac to view it; if I open it with a browser (safari) it’s fine, if I use anything other than Plex for Mac on the computer that has the server it’s fine … it’s a weird thing on Plex for Mac.

This oddity I can not reproduce, PfMac or Chrome. MacOS 11.4 Collections are as they should be in a TV and Movie Library. [Screen Shot 2021-06-16 at 11.51.12 pm] I would be temped to uninstall PfMac and re Install the latest Version again. :wink:

It happened while I was actively using it to build collections; but I’ll try the reinstall, but I know I can work around it with the browser.

I did just notice one other oddity; in the library tab, it says I have 2703 movies; but in the collections tab, it says I have 2678 movies, which I believe is the number of movies I had when this oddness started.

Could this be one view being sorted by title and the other not? While sorted by title, Plex will show collections inline so the view has less items (assuming your library is configured to hide items that are part of a collection). If that’s the discrepancy you’re seeing, it won’t be an actual issu…

oh, that clears up the oddity of the count … but it does not fix the fact that my “collections” is a mirror of the “library”

Works good for with me with any sort Tom. That’s Collections

Collections disappeared on computer, still visible on all remote streaming
