Smart collections keep zeroing out and changing filter to a number

Server Version#: 4.72.1

For the past few months, once every couple weeks, I’ll have several of my smart collections zero out. They’ll go from having however many movies to having zero. Seems to happen particularly with collections with an ‘actor’ filter.

When I go to edit the filter, instead of saying actor equals ‘sylvester stallone’ it’ll have some random number instead of the name, which obviously is why the filter returns no movies.

Any help appreciated. Not ideal to have to keep fixing my smart collections every couple weeks.

If it matters, I upgraded to the ‘new library’ or whatever as soon as I was able to - quite a while ago.

You can see in the first screenshot several are zero’d out, and several aren’t. It’s random which ones it happens to.

The second is what the filter says when I go to edit it. If I change the number back to stallone, it works fine.


probably tied to the recent actor/person changes in the database. If you refresh the metadata for the entire library that should update the records so that everything is using the new system.
