Plex insists on labelleling all video collections as “# movies”, even when the results are TV shows, clips, or other non feature length media.

Can we please tweak the wording to the more generic “# videos”?

This effects multiple types of devices, from desktop apps to mobile apps to Roku to Web.

Can you show what you mean with a screenshot?

My tv show collections show as “# Shows”.

I think I know what the poster means.

I have a Food Recipes library, type `Other Videos` and the contents are video clips.

When viewing the collections, it displays `14 Movies` instead of `14 Videos`

Not a really big problem though.

@MovieFan that’s what I was thinking too but didn’t want to assume. Each collection is limited to the media type of its content. So I’d assume, without checking, that each collection should show the count respective to its media type (movies, shows, seasons, episodes, albums, artists, tracks)

@Yaracuy thanks! If that’s the case then that is technically correct. Other Video library content is classed as Movies.
