Plexamp album collections gone in 3.4.6?

Just updated to version 3.4.6 on Android. Server is 1.22.3.4523. The Album Collections item is gone from the Library tab. When I revert my Android client to 3.4.5, it’s back.

Please tell me this was simply moved somewhere else or is a mistake. If Album Collections are going away, my life will be heck.

Thanks for any assistance.

I assume it is a bug
As a workaround you can use album filters. You can filter on collections
Hope this will be fixed soon!

Thanks for sharing… I can reproduce this on my system.
Interestingly the filter will however only show regular collections (no smart collections)…

Thanks for the responses and suggestions. Hopefully there will be a fix in the next build. In the meantime, I’ll stay on the older version.

I stand corrected. I had only created an album collection for testing and that did not cause the Album Collections section to show up automatically. After restarting the app, it is now however displaying as expected on my setup.

Have you already tried that?

I just tried the following to see if I could get the Album Collections group to show up:

Swipe the app away, force close and restart it.
Add an album to an existing collection (from a browser), then restart the app as above.
Create a new album collection with an album in it (from a browser), then restart the app as above.
Restarted my Android device.

None of these options caused the Album Collections group to reappear on the Library page. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I am back on the previous version now.

Where exactly are these album filters you speak of? When I go to albums and hit the three dots on the top right I get a bunch of sorting options but nothing about collections.

Thanks

I think he’s talking about going to albums, clicking the inverted pyramid of lines at the top, adding a rule, and choosing Album→collection as the filter.

It’s a cool workaround but I’ve got so many collections now that it’s not workable for me.

The Album Collections category does show for me on Plexamp 4.3.6 – the only time they didn’t show up for me was when I didn’t have an album collection or only just had added one. To me this was “overcome” by restarting the app… not sure there might be another trigger for Plex to refresh the list of categories.

The filter grv68 was referring is this:

Silly bug on our part. The reason @tom80H can’t reproduce is that he’s running a … special version with some unreleased features :wink:
