Server Version#: 4.66.1 (plexmediaserver-1.25.2.5319-c43dc0277.x86\_64) Player Version#: Google Chrome (google-chrome-stable-96.0.4664.93-1.x86\_64) I have created a music collection by adding a “Christmas” tag to a number of albums. The collection is visible in various clients, and I am able to play individual albums and songs. However, attempting to play (or shuffle) the entire collection in a browser (Firefox or Google Chrome) results in a pop-up error message that says, “An error occurred loading items to play.” `Plex Media Server.log` says: ```auto Dec 17, 2021 10:49:27.477 [0x7f1079647b38] DEBUG - BPQ: deferring onLibraryChanged callback, only 31 seconds since last library change Dec 17, 2021 10:49:29.457 [0x7f107a0b7b38] DEBUG - Request: [172.31.248.2:56816 (Allowed Network (Subnet))] POST /playQueues?type=audio&uri=server%3A%2F%2F720da4926 c15e792e0154d48337e8ced8fb087b3%2Fcom.plexapp.plugins.library%2Flibrary%2Fcollections%2F8234&repeat=0&own=1&includeChapters=1&includeMarkers=1&includeGeolocation=1& includeExternalMedia=1 (4 live) TLS GZIP Signed-in Token (schmivacy@gmail.com) Dec 17, 2021 10:49:29.457 [0x7f107a0b7b38] DEBUG - PlayQueue: Converted 'server://720da4926c15e792e0154d48337e8ced8fb087b3/com.plexapp.plugins.library/library/colle ctions/8234' to 'library://x/directory/%2Flibrary%2Fcollections%2F8234' Dec 17, 2021 10:49:29.459 [0x7f107a0b7b38] DEBUG - PlayQueue: 0 generated IDs compressed down to a 20 byte blob.

I think you may have run into this problem: > [@Music Collection of Albums or Artists won't play, but Collection of Songs will](https://forums.plex.tv/t/music-collection-of-albums-or-artists-wont-play-but-collection-of-songs-will/739303): > > Server Version#: 1.24.1.4931 windows Player Version#: 4.59.2 web player I just started using collections instead of play lists 3 weeks ago. I have a collection of 200+ songs that plays fine . I have several Collections of Albums from different genre… so if i try and play my “Alternative” collection or “Hip Hop” collection i get error “Playback Error: An Error occurred loading items to play”… these collections had no problem like 2 weeks ago i haven’t played from them since then, but i have up… ---
