#Dynamic collections hiding items

I couldn't find Devil Wears Prada in my library today and found out because its in the TMDB Popular list at the moment (likely because the sequel is coming out today). Is there a way to have regular collections hide items, but the dynamic ones such as Oscars, tmdb, franchise, studio, universe, ect NOT hide items? I still want regular collections like Back to the Future Collection to hide items, but not the dynamic ones

My current template has collection_mode for the library set to hide_items which is probably why it hides everything, but show_items reveals everything, I guess I want to hide or show on a per collection_file basis

You can set show/hide on a collection basis, but any one "show" will win over any number of "hide" for a given movie.

Any movie that is in any single collection with "show_items" will be visible in the library, no matter how many "hide_items" collections it may be in.

Probably franchise

#

I dont see it in the docs

#

Im very tired so might be missing it

#

The log will tell the tale.

It could be a plex collection if you haven't turned that off.

#

But the log will show precisely

#

checking logs now

TMDb Collections apparently?

#

Now I get this, but its because BttF 1 is currently in TMBD Top Rated so that makes sense I guess. Maybe If I restrict the TMDB collections to the Collection tab only? Would that help?

So sounds like if you want the dynamic charts that change every so often (like TMDB Popular), you have to be okay with "kidnapping" your show/hide setting

#

Im getting a hang of this slowly. One last confusing one
Bugs Life is showing up in the library

image.png
#

But it is in the Studio collection for Pixar

#

I have studio set to hide_items

    - default: studio
      template_variables:
        collection_mode: hide_items
        include:
        - Pixar
        - DreamWorks Studios
#

its not in Newly Released, TMDB Popular, TMDB Top Rated, TMDB Trending, a universe, or the Oscars ones either

#

its only in Pixar studio and its not a part of a franchise (no sequels)

#

So Im not sure what setting it to show

#

this is the only entry for it in the logs

#

The Pixar studio collection is correctly setting to hide_items

#

and yet it mocks me

#

lol

#

<@&938443185347244033> Any thoughts on the Bugs Life situation? I have Pixar studio collection set to hide_items, and it is not in any other collection. Not sure why its showing in the library

#

Brave and many of the other Pixar movies are doing the same thing

#

A full log would be the starting point.

Bug's Life is only mentioned for the poster part and the Pixar collection in the logs does indeed say hide_items

somber ginkgo
#

Oh, Bug's Life says its not in any collection?

image.png
#

But it is in the Pixar Studio collection, Im looking at it now

#

how could that be?

#

Its got 29 items in it, including bugs life

#

Is it because the studio collections are actually just a plex filter and not a "real" collection?

frosty tree
#

Smart collections don’t any members of the collection

somber ginkgo
#

or rather, because smart collections use filters

frosty tree
#

Smart collections never have members of a collection. They are run at the time the collection opens

somber ginkgo
#

Ahh okay

#

That makes sense

#

Thanks!
