Sranshaft Wrote:The problem with the movie set feature, as a whole, was that there isn't any GUI options for it - besides setting thumb. Once there's an easy, in-built method of creating, modifying and managing movie sets I think the feature will become more popular.
As it stands now though, having to insert tags into nfo files just isn't very user friendly and won't be used by most of the userbase.

Movie sets management is also supported by some of the movie managers availables in 'Supplemental Tools' section, so it's not that hard to manage them.
I am exactly in the same situation as Machine-Sanctum.
I wish i could code c++ and provide a patch for that ticket.

Maybe for your situation it's great but for others it's absolutely not. I use the smartlist to seperate different types of movies: regular / animations / stand-up comedy using the path begins with option. This way i've lost the whole point of the sets. Now those playlists are huge because some comedians have like 10 dvds which now al show instead of a set.
It had been better if they had fixed the rule instead of removing the whole movie set option.

I am using DH 10.1 at the moment, and I get the movies appearing in sets AND as individual movies. I would like JUST the sets.
Someone said you can't satisfy everyone. Of course you can. Add in some CHOICE (an option in the system menu or something) OR code in a rule into the smart playlists options.
Both sides get what they need. It doesn't need to be complicated, it's just a single setting. It doesn't have to get to an argument for either side either, as both are catered for.
It doesn't really matter if everyone are using sets or not. The simple fact is; that if you have sets, then smart playlists are BROKEN. And we don't want a broken product do we?
