Only a subset of Jellyfin collections showing up in Infuse

Platforms Apple TV

Hi, running into a minor issue here. Using latest infuse and latest Jellyfin both.

I have collections set up for my Movie Libraries and for some reason not every collection is syncing over to infuse even though I see the collection being created correctly on the Jellyfin side and it shows up properly there. If I browse to the share within Infuse and go to the Collections folder (on Jellyfin itself) the collection also works fine there.

I have all collection related options enabled in settings (both custom collections AND TMDB collections, as well as the option to group Films into collections turned on) and infuse itself says it’s indexed 12/12 collections. However, I only see 11/12 of the collections displayed within Infuse.

For what it’s worth, the only collection not displaying doesn’t have the
<TmdbId>
property set as it’s a collection not handled by TMDB.

Here’s the collection.xml from Jellyfin for the collection that isn’t showing up:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

And here’s a random one that does work:

Any idea what might be going on here?

First, I have absolutely no experience with Jellyfin but I’ll play. :wink:

First thing I noticed is the “Lock Data” for the non working one is set to true and the working one is false.

Second thing I noticed was the paths/filenames on the non working one contained colons and I’ve seen that cause problems in other areas.
I may be wasting your time but I thought I’d chime in. :wink:

Ah, the colon thing is sneaky. That’s not actually a colon, it’s an Armenian full stop which I use in space of colons in filenames to make sure they’re sanitized for normal usage.

Tried to remove the lock data param by recreating the collection (I had overridden the name to fix something) which worked alright, but also alas no joy there. It’s very strange, as all 12 collections are autogenerated by Jellyfin and this one is not special in any other way other than missing the param. Was worth a try though!

Sadly, same issue still presents itself. :frowning:
