I had all Disney on a separate folder.

I also created the set first manually (id =2)

Code:
insert into setlinkmovie
select '2',movie.idMovie from movie
left outer join files on movie.idFile = files.idFile
left outer join path on files.idPath = path.idPath
where strPath like '%- Disney%'
and movie.idMovie not in (select idMovie from setlinkmovie)

Woo, so fast. Thank you very much!!!!
I'll give it a try. Mayby i'll write a little util for that.
It strange, i didnt find a way to assign movie to a set from the xbmc itself.

I had the idea to base the sets on folder structure. I.e. make up a naming standard to enable a sql script to create and assign sets based on folder name. E.g. "Disney [SET]" or what ever. If a improved versoin of my script runs every 5 minutes it would automatically assign sets.
You would have to manually sort the movies on disk of course, but any system would need to know your wishes somehow.

...or with a smart playlist. That way it doesn't need to be done again when more movies are added.

Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
  <name>Disney Movies</name>
  <match>or</match>
  <rule field="path" operator="contains">Disney</rule>
  <rule field="studio" operator="contains">Disney</rule>
</smartplaylist>

The XWMM remote manager will let you change/manage sets. It does have a bit of weird focus/update issues, but works great for managing sets (and editing other things).

Most better skins allow for custom buttons on the home screen. Typically, those can be assigned to open playlists.

Practically every skin I've tried will do this. Personally I use Xperience1080 in my bedroom and Simplicity in the living room.

If you need help making the home screen buttons, I'm sure people will help you in the corresponding threads.
