collection_mode: hide_items inconsistant

[twin swan]

Hey all!

Running this has led to some inconsistancies

  Movies (4k):
    report_path: config/missing/Movies_missing.yml
    template_variables:
      sep_style: purple
      collection_mode: hide
    collection_files:
      - default: oscars
      - default: universe
      - default: franchise
        template_variables:
          collection_mode: hide_items

The goal was have oscars and universe use the "global" collection_mode: hide but have just franchise use collection_mode: hide_items It worked for some, but not all. For example, Zombieland Collection now shows only the collection in the Library tab with the 2 movies hidden, but Ant-Man shows the collection AND the 3 movies

In the summary screen for Kometa, it did say it updated metadata for Ant-Man so not sure what the difference is

any "show" overrides a hide

[twin swan]

I dont have any "show"s I dont think?

(but probably misunderstanding lol)

Heres a werider example

it hid the 2nd and 3rd movies for BttF but not the first

[summer cargo]

you have hide and hide_items

[twin swan]

Ah so it doesn't "override" then? I need to get rid of the "global" one and do it per collection file?

Like this?

  Movies (4k):
    report_path: config/missing/Movies_missing.yml
    template_variables:
      sep_style: purple
    collection_files:
      - default: oscars
          template_variables:
            collection_mode: hide
      - default: universe
        template_variables:
          collection_mode: hide
      - default: franchise
        template_variables:
          collection_mode: hide_items

[summer cargo]

it's probably your spacing, the spacing needs to be consistent

i use a global hide

[twin swan]

Ah, so the first one should have worked?

[pale prawn]

The interplay between all these hide and show options is going to drive you berserk.

[twin swan]

It is currently doing that yes

😛

Will specifying them individually make it more clear?

[twin swan]

like this example

first example looks like it worked here

but like I said on Ant Man it didnt

found it in the logs, looks like it picked it up correctly at least

[pale prawn]

That indicates that for this specific collection, Kometa told Plex "hide the things in this collection", and Plex responded "OK". It doesn't necessarily indicate that when all is said and done another collection won't have told Plex to show items that may be common to this collection, which would override this "hide".

[twin swan]

Ahhh. Now that you mention it, the ones that didn't work are also in a universe collection and the ones that did work are not (except that Back to the Future one which is strange)

(Ant Man part of Marvel Universe, Zombieland has no universe)

[summer cargo]

hide and hide_items, and show_items is all a mess

[twin swan]

After dinner Ill test if having Universe and franchise set to the same helps and let yall know

      - default: universe                           # Marvel Cinematic Universe, Wizarding World, etc.
        template_variables:
          collection_mode: hide_items
      - default: franchise
        template_variables:
          collection_mode: hide_items

tried this (with "global" still being hide

it was better

but still some werid inconsistances

fixed Ant-Man, but Avengers movies still not hidden

very strange

Ah lol

its ALSO in TMDB Trending

thats probably it

All the ones that aren't "working" are in a 3rd collection that is hide (like oscars or trending or something)

So seems like every collection its in has to have the same collection_mode

[pale prawn]

Any single "show" will override any number of "hide"

[twin swan]

Yeah seeing that now. Wish it would just take the last one

[twin swan]

Ok, can now confirm they all have to be the same collection_mode, mixing and matching leads to shenanigans

An enhancement that could be nice is it just takes the "last" one applied, that, while not perfect, at least could be worked around and predictable

[summer cargo]

Has nothing to do with Kometa. That’s a plex limitation

[twin swan]

gotcha, thanks all!
