Since migrating my Plex Media Server to a Docker container on unRAID 6.7.x Pro, the number of collections auto-created by Plex is less than half what I had when running PMS on MacOS or Windows. This really doesn’t apply to the player clients listed as they all see the same number of collections.
Start up Plex and go to “Add new library” Choose Photo option. Chnge the photo name to Vacation 2019. The next screen should ask you to locate folder you created earlier. Select that folder and click create or next.
It is related to the collections that PMS can auto-create when scanning items added to the library. When deciding to migrate PMS to a Docker container on unRAID, I decided to go ahead and start from scratch so all of my media was scanned into new libraries, rather than importing my info from my previous Win10 build.

I have over 4300 movies in my Movies library, so it’s taken a couple of days for me to organize just the posters and fix any errant or un-matched items. However, Plex collections used to number over 450 on my previous PMS installs on MacOS and Win10. The complete rebuild in the official Plexinc Docker container has only auto-created 191 collections.
I have ensured all of the agents like Plex Movie and The Movie Database scanners have the options set to ‘Use collection info from The Movie Database’, just like it was on my older PMS instances. I normally don’t show Collections in the main library view, but only access them from the Collections tab/filter in the clients.
In trying to troubleshoot, I’ve changed Collections in the Advanced tab of my Movies library from my default of ‘Disabled’ to both ‘Show collections and their items’ and ‘Hide items which are in collections’. No matter which setting, when I force a manual library rescan, refresh metadata or analyze the Movies library, the number of collections remains at 191.
I am hoping there is some trick I can perform to force PMS to re-scan my library and build all collections from scratch. I’ve tried using Scan Library Files, Analyze and Refresh All Metadata in different order but no matter what, the collections never get re-created and I’m left with the same 191.

I do still have the full Plex Media Server application support folder from my previous Win10 install. If there’s a way for me to export the collections from that install and then import them into my unRAID Plex Docker install, I’m more than willing to try. Or if anyone has a suggestion how I might force PMS to rebuild all collections from scratch, that would be great too!.

As it took me a couple of days to correct all the poster art and errant matches, I really don’t want to start over with a fresh library and then have to re-do all my poster art, matching and metadata corrections. I will most certainly be willing to add collection tags for the custom collections I previously had, but hope there’s a way to at least build a more complete ‘starting over’ set of collections.
