I’m trying to relegate certain titles in my libraries to only appear in a collection. I also don’t want the collections themselves to appear in the library. The way I understand this to work, I’d set the Collections option for the library to Disabled to hide the collections themselves. This works. …

Tried both. Unfortunately, it didn’t make a difference.

You cannot store items away in a collection and hide that collection too. IIRC there’s a feature suggestion discussing such a feature but it’s received very little attention and doesn’t seem to be a use case Plex have on their radar.

Weird. Then I’d argue the options they allow are confusing! The way they read makes one think it is supported and should work. If the Disabled setting at the library level trumps the individual Collection Mode, then I’d think that option would be disabled for the collections in that library.

I suppose we have a different understanding of those options. Here’s the related suggestion: [image] Add an extra library option for Collections // mod: hide collection and its items from library view Feature Suggestions Currently the collections settings in each library…

Interesting view. My understanding being Disabled meaning: No Collections for that Library. When disabled leaving the individual parts of a Collection in there sort order. Hide Items in a Collection: myself I always took the meaning as the correlation of parts of a said Collection and it’s Poster…

Right. So Disabled disables the collection tiles in the Library. It doesn’t disable the concept of collections for the library, though. You still have collections, they just show up only under the collections tab.

Correct, that is the closest your going to be to your desired setup.
