Maximum number of Channels Collections?

[nlomis]

I have set up two Channels Collections:
Wifes Favorites
Sports

I'd like to build more but the "add collection" is greyed out. Are Two collections the maximum limit?

I have at least 15 channel collections. I have no idea why it would be greyed out.

I just counted and have 42 (!)
Not using them all on all clients but some are in some state of cleanup progress.
Regardless, I don't think there's any max limit, and if there were, it would never be just 2.

Also unsure why "add collection" would be grayed out but the first troubleshooting I'd try is to update to the latest pre-release of the server, and the second would be to reboot it.

Here is what I see - Channels Collections "+ Add Collection" greyed out. I've updated to latest prerelease, rebooted. Frustrating. Any support appreciated

You're in the wrong place. It's grayed out because you've already added all available collections to the client.

New collections are created under Live TV - Channel Collections.

Thanks so much! This was driving me nuts.

Of course once a made a few more collections, I couldn’t figure out why they weren’t showing on the guide.

Then I discovered I had to add each collection to each individual client ( I have four AppleTV, an iPhone, and an iPad. ) So it took a number of clicks

However compared to pre-cord cutting, when I was paying a small fortune for DIRECTV,the ability to customize with Channels is incredible.

I set these as "Global Client Settings" via the CDVR web UI on that same page. So when I organize Channel Collections, all of the devices (four AppleTV's, three iPhones, three iPads, various M1 Macs) get updated at the same time.

I can't find where I can set this as a Global Client Setting. Much appreciated if you can send a pic of where you are setting this.

Global Client Setting

Under the clients tab towards the bottom

To assign to a single client you would click the gear button on that client and add on the next page.
