Why are collections no longer displayed in the Plex movie library when a filter is applied?
A filter might not apply to all items of a collection or the collection itself. I guess that’s why Plex will no longer group items into their collections in a filtered library (similar to why they’re not showing inline collections if the library is sorted by anything but titles).
Well, in that case, you simply stop displaying the relevant media in the collection; hiding the entire collection makes the overview completely confusing. In that case, you might as well do without the collections altogether.
A clear wish for the future: display the collections even when a filter is applied, and simply remove the media that no longer apply from the collections.
My old media manager on the Dreambox was already doing that 10 years ago.
