Collections

[Hunter1955]

Been having an issue for quite a few versions. Collections don't seem to work very well.
In fact hardly at all. I wiped out my disk. Loaded only the James Bond movies. Mounted the disk back and did a rebuild.
No collection is created. All 26 movies are listed as individual movies.
Currently at V2.0.2.1
Can load V1.0.1.0 and it works fine

Anyone know where I can get a copy of v1.0.1.0?

I don't really use Collections myself, but figure I would check my BOND movies.
I do have a Collection with 24 movies in it. I checked my BOND folder and it have 24 movies.
I guess I am missing 2 ?? Hmmmmm Maybe the last one? Don't remember buying a new Bond movie for a while.
I think I only had Spectre on DVD also...
Nope, Had the Blu Ray and the DVD LOL. Darn, did I miss a Bond on the Big Screen? Now I have to google.
I know 1 is in the can but release was held up.

One not in your list I'm sure is Casino Royale (1967). This had David Niven as James Bond. Not really considered part of the James Bond series.
I include it in mine. I usually have to add it.

I actually do have this move. I don't really consider it BOND, but a spoof of bond. I put this in the Woody Allen collection.
But I can see how it can go into Bond.

To confirm, do you mean that "No collection is created" automatically for the James Bond movies? Or that even you Custom a Collection for the movies, there is no data either?

[Hunter1955]

No Collection was automatically created at all.... I did not try a custom collection, didn't think I should have to

Luckily I don't use the DMS all the time but I'm still plugging away.
Decided to start from scratch. Running 2.0.2.1
Formatted the disk and copied all the James bond movies over my network to the DMS.
Did a rebuild and still no collection created.
Formatted the disk again and copied the movies over again.
Now I did an update. I then edited the movies it did not have a poster for(about 40%) and did a rebuild.
A collection was created but only with the movies I did an edit on.
I started over again. This time I did an update then edited ever movie. Did a rebuild and a collection was created and all movies were in it.
I tested a few more sets of movies and as long as I do an update first and edit every movie before doing a rebuild everything is working great.
So far I have moved over 120 collections doing this procedure and it is creating the collections and most movies are being added.
I cannot add movies to the collections that are missing as every rebuild drops those changes out. I'll have to wait until I have all my collections
done before making these kinds of changes.

This is definitely not the way it should work but it's working for me,

As a side note there were some collections not made and for those I created custom collections.
Some I expected, some were not.

Here are some collections I expected to be made but were not. I had to make custom collections for them
ANNABELLE
DEADPOOL
DEEP BLUE SEA
DEATH RACE
HITMAN
STRANGERS

UNBREAKABLE

UNBREAKABLE

Have not be able to figure 'Unbreakable' out to why it doesn't make a collection automatically as a trilogy on it's own. Have not seen this collection perform automatically by many movie servers on it's own. But yet it is posted on IMDb as a trilogy (ls022101006). Thinking maybe it's because it's reference (ls) is not properly linked to it's (tt) reference for each movie. The DMS is not only one not linking this trilogy up.

I have all 3 and up till this version never had it in collections. Under collections it's known as "Eastrail 177".
