Sorry for the newb question!

I've made a dynamic collection for RPGs but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. When I created it I selected only the "role playing game" genre filter. When I go to the collections folder, instead of it showing a folder named accordingly, it shows the name and logo of one of the games in the collection. You can click on it and it goes inside the collection, but inside there is only a very limited amount of titles.

Is there something I'm missing? I've searched for someone posting the same issue, but come up empty handed. Thanks in advance!

Hello

First step is to define if you want the collection in a folder where all unthemed collection are grouped, or with a independant view for each.

Then, the content will depend of the metadatas choice, that will select the games that match, while they got the right metadatas (often thanks to the scrape)

I did all of that to begin with. All of my media has been scraped using the built in scraper and info from screenscraper. I can see all sorts of games correctly tagged as "role playing game", but the dynamic collection will only load about a dozen of them. And it still will display a random game logo and name instead of the parent folder. I'm not sure what could be wrong.

For the second problem (asset for the collection), it's because you have to add a background on the theme folder, with the exact name of your collection.
