#Collections not generating as expected

Hey all, basically I'm confused as to how Movies/Shows are identified and then sorted into their relevant collections and what I can do to aid that process. I thought at first that getting everything sorted and renamed properly (which I accomplished with radarr/sonarr) would help, but I'm still running into the same issue.

Two things specifically jump out at me; first, the pixar collection only has 9 movies in there, and the actors category doesn't generate a collection for Bill Murray, despite me having a number of movies for both. There are other things I've noticed like genres not filling, out so I'm hoping to establish exactly how I need to name/tag content to be successful here.

I was looking at the default options for actors in the config file, and it doesn't seem to have an 'include' parameter the way some of the other types do, is that correct?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Also, I'm really grateful for the work on the tool; it's exceptional.

Cheers.

The PIxar collection is based on this filter:

           | Smart Movie Filter
           | Sort By: ['release.desc']
           | Filter:
           |   Match any of the following:
           |     Studio is Pixar
           |     Studio is Pixar Animation Studios
[INFO]     |
[INFO]     | Items Found: 9

Examine the items that are missing and they probably don't meet that criteria.

The actors collections are behaving as configured.

regarding the actor Defaults file, that [along with director, producer, writer] are "special" types of Collections which calculate the most popular people in your library based on how many credits they receive in your Movies/Shows.

You have the ability to limit how many collections are created, and to what depth in the credits they may be, and you can also exclude specific people, but you cannot specifically include someone.

   | Data: ordereddict([('depth', 5), ('limit', 25)])

These default settings meant that it is going to look 5 deep into the cast on all your movies and create collections for the 25 actors with the longest credit lists.

#

You can of course create them differently if you want to determine genres in another way.

That's super cool parameter options for the actor lists; thank you for explaining that!

#

And I notice now that the missing Pixar movies had Disney listed as the studio so that makes a lot of sense.

Will dig into those links and keep experimenting; thanks!
