Sharing All Collections in a Row

I’ve tinkered around with adding collections to the home page, but is there a way to create a row that shows various collections (and collection posters) that when selected then go to the specific collection library? I’ve got about 300 collections (178 which are more genre/sub-genre) so would like to add some or all of these collections in its own row to see. As an example, I would like one row called Collections to show Action/Disaster, Action/Spy, Action/Superhero, etc. The current functionality I’ve tried is cool but only allows me to show one collection per row which would get cluttered quickly…

Am I missing something or is this functionality not yet possible?

You can create a “Smart Collection” for this type of thing, and then add that to the home page.

There’s no way to make a row for “Collections”, but that’s an interesting idea.

Thanks for that info…I’ve looked into smart collections but not sure that will work for what I’m trying to do. I think the current functionality works great for seasonal or specific collections like Halloween or Christmas collections that show all the movies in that collection.

I’ve spent a lot of time on creating collections for various genres and it’d be easier to access directly from home page. This is example of some collections I created and how I’d like posters to show up in its own row on the home page.

Yeah, there’s no way to do that currently. But it’s a good idea.

It could be another Sharing Recommendation row, just like “Library Playlists” is. I would find that much more useful than Playlists, myself.

also, just incase you weren’t aware -

How you have added 1.1 Martial Arts to the collection title
If you are only doing that to get them to the front of the list, you can instead add that to the Sort Title field instead. Then remove it from the title

Great thank you for that! It was driving me nuts trying to figure out how to list them in priority. I have 1.2.1 and so on…

another way to do it it with multiple plex symbols. The more you put in front of the sort title the higher priority it gets

So if you have several categories of collections -
Category A gets ++++_title
Category B gets +++_title
as so on.

Then inside each group/category it sorts alphabetically

Do you have files on your desktop named Project_Proposal.Real.Final.2ndEdition.Copy.Updated.March.docx ?
