delete minimum collections not working for me anymore?

[queen sinew]

Probably in the last week or 2 i've noticed that all the sudden collections below my delete items count of 1 were starting to be created again. Basically all of the Seperators that normally are not in my library started showing up. I deleted them manually in Plex before I preformed this run. Has a setting changed? I have minimum_items: 1 and also delete_below_minimum: true and like I said this happened out of nowhere, I didn't change any settings in my config.yml

the only thing that got them to disappear for runs is by using the template_variable - use_separator: false

but I still do not want any collections created for just 1 movie.

I mean I don't want collection's with 0 movies. Because I'm fine if just 1 movie or show is in an HBO Max collection.

So setting minimum items to 1 should be fine. If the collection is created and then movies fall out of that collection making it drop to below the threshold, unless to tell pmm to delete, I think they will stay

Deleting Collections

There are multiple ways to delete collections using PMM.

:one: --delete-collections Run Command will delete ALL Collections in that library at the beginning of the run.

:two: delete_collections Library Operation Deletes collections based on a set of given attributes. The Collection must match all set attributes to be deleted.

:three: delete_not_scheduled Setting Detail will delete a collection that has a schedule defined and is not scheduled to run on this run.

:four: delete_below_minimum Setting Detail will delete any collection that no longer meets the minimum requirement.

But thats what I have it set to and it still creates collections with 0 movies

Specifically the "Based on..." "Ratings" etc. separators are all still showing and by default their 0

[somber rock]

Are you talking about the separators as those 0-movie collections? They are always 0-item and are outside the collection minimum.

[Well, they're 0-item if you do not specify a placeholder]

[queen sinew]

Yes, I did not know they were outside that parameter, I only noticed them populating in the last couple weeks with the most recent updates. So best way to exclude them is the template variable use separator false?

[somber rock]

Yes.

[queen sinew]

Alright I'll give that a try, weird how they just started showing up after months

[somber rock]

That's the only way to exclude them [aside from the one that's a default of its own; charts I think]

[queen sinew]

ok
