## Collection Types |
||||
|
||||
ErsatzTV does not schedule individual media items; only collections of items can be scheduled. There are three (3) collection types: |
||||
|
||||
- `Collection`: contains manually-added items |
||||
- `Smart Collection`: contains items from search results or imported Trakt Lists, and updates dynamically |
||||
- `Multi Collection`: contains other Collections and Smart Collections. |
||||
|
||||
### Collections |
||||
|
||||
Collections are created manually by adding individual media items to it. There is no restriction on media type. A collection can contain a single media type, eg. movies or any combination of media types. |
||||
The items to be added can be found by browsing your libraries or by using ErsatzTV's powerful Search feature. An empty collection can be created under `Lists` > `Collections` > `Add Collection`. |
||||
|
||||
To create a collection, find the media items you would like to include and select them by clicking the selection button in the top left of the poster: |
||||
|
||||
 |
||||
|
||||
Then, add to a collection by clicking the `Add To Collection` button at the top of the page. |
||||
|
||||
 |
||||
|
||||
In the `Add To Collection` dialog, either select an existing collection for the items, or enter a new collection name to create a collection and add all of the selected items in a single step. |
||||
|
||||
 |
||||
|
||||
### Smart Collections |
||||
|
||||
Smart Collections are created by saving searches or saving imported Trakt Lists. |
||||
|
||||
#### From Searches |
||||
|
||||
To create a smart collection, type a search query in the search box and press enter. |
||||
If the result shown meets your expectations, save as a Smart Collection by clicking the `Save As` button. |
||||
If it doesn't meet your expectations, refine the search query until it does and then save. |
||||
|
||||
#### From Imported Trakt Lists |
||||
|
||||
To import a Trakt List, navigate to the `Lists` > `Trakt Lists` page and click the `Add Trakt List` button. Trakt lists can be imported by url or by `user/list`. |
||||
|
||||
- To re-download a Trakt List, simply add it again. There is no need to delete. |
||||
- Unmatched item details are written to the log. |
||||
- Trakt Lists can only be scheduled after being saved as a Smart Collection. |
||||
|
||||
To see matching items from an imported Trakt list, click the search button on the row of the Trakt List. |
||||
|
||||
 |
||||
|
||||
### Multi Collections |
||||
|
||||
Multi Collections contain other Collections and/or Smart Collections. The primary purpose of these are to enable the scheduling of sets of Media Items in a controlled manner. |
||||
Here we are referring to Movie Boxsets, e.g. X-Men Collection, Star Trek Collection and Before... Collection as well as related movies and tv show groups such as Arrowverse, MARVEL Cinematic Universe, Worlds of DC and Battlestar Galactica (Reboot). |
||||
|
||||
To Add a Multi Collection |
||||
|
||||
- Navigate to `Lists` > `Collections` and click the `Add Multi Collection` button |
||||
- Give the Multi Collection a name |
||||
- Add collections and/or smart collections as required and click `Add Multi Collection` to save |
