Dummy collection/blank collection

[ButtaJones]

I've been trying to add a dummy collect. A blank collection with nothing in it. Is this possible? This is what I tried. Maybe I'm trying to hard.

  A:
    collection_mode: hide
    sort_title: +08_a
    plex_search:
      any:
        title: khjslahjg
      validate: false
    url_poster: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zluckytraveler/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/master/zluckytraveler/Posters/Networks/Standard/ABC.jpg

Script spits out:

| A                    |  0  |  0  |  0  | PMM Failure                                               |
| Plex Error: No Items found in Plex

Also. Would it be possible to leave the collection name blank insead of "A"?

Any ideas?

Figured it out with Tautulli builder. Would be nice to do with Plex or Smart builder and no matches. This still shows "1 movie" under the collection.

  ' ':
    collection_mode: hide
    sort_title: +08_a
    tautulli_popular:
      list_days: 1
      list_size: 1
    url_poster: https://your.link.to/pic.png

@rclark213 how did you write it up?

I actually didn't use PMM for it - I did it manually by using a dummy movie to create a new collection, then deleting that movie from the collection. I'll see if I can figure out a way to do it in PMM.

I'm happy to make some kind of blank collection functionality in pmm keep an eye out for it

This is what I was picturing. Kinda limited with the UI but hey.
