that means we only have that info. try this
Code:
<movie>
<sorttitle>The Fast and the Furious 2</sorttitle>
<set>The Fast and the Furious</set>
</movie>

i was under the impression that <set></set> went inside of <sets></sets>, not inside <movie></movie>

can anyone confirm the right format?

here is one of mine:

Code:
<movie>
    <title>Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines</title>
    <runtime>1 hr 38 min</runtime>
</movie>
<sets>
    <set>Terminator</set>
</sets>

well combing our efforts we end up with

Code:
<movie>
  <sets>
    <set>foo</set>
  </sets>
</movie>

which is the proper format. all tags within <movie>

Just a nifty little idea for those of you outthere developing on this...

What if, you made it like with TV-shows. So you add a source "X:/Movies" and inseide this source are your folders with moviefiles in them. If you should happen to have a "Harry Potter" folder, with all the Harry Potter movies in it, also seperated in respective folders, then it would automatically be categorized in XBMC as a <set>. Just like TV-shows and episodes are listed.

good to know, thanks!

but am i correct in saying that this still doesn't really do anything in the normal movies view?


- sho - 2009-11-27

No, have you tried it? (only missing fanart and it's the best thing since.. whatever you love)


- openricky - 2009-11-27

well, maybe it's because my format was wrong Smile

i'll see if i can re-import these and report back


Movie Grouping !? - Malexx - 2009-11-29

Hi there,

In Ember there is a option to manage your movie groups and make sets.

How can i make them show up in XBMC?

I tried several skins,but had no Luck.

i searched the Forum but couldnt find any solution.

Or doesnt this option work right now?

Thank you for help ...

Your former format is to way to go:

movie sets problem - blastactionhero - 2010-01-05

if that has been asked before, im sorry, but i didnt found anyhing on the forums.

so, i used mediacompanion and found out about a feature called movie sets - perfect way to geht all the bonus discs in the library. but it doesnt work for me at all.

i tried the way via media companion and than the way explained in the wiki with

<sorttitle>Die Hard 1</sorttitle>
<set>Die Hard Collection</set>

here is an example of one of my nfos:
[...]
<title>The Animatrix </title>
<sorttitle>7 - The Animatrix</sorttitle>
<set>The Matrix</set>
<rating>7.5</rating>
<year>2003</year>
<top250 />
<votes>18,071</votes>
<outline>The Animatrix is a collection of several animated short films, detailing the backstory of the "Matrix" universe, and the original war between man and machines which led to the creation of the Matrix. </outline>
[..]

but it is shown im my library as the animatrix. there is no movieset Sad

im using xbmc on the xbox and the xbmc version is: (oh great, it says unknown, but was compiled on 31.12.2009)

can someone help me please Smile


- spiff - 2010-01-05

probably not backported to xbox.


- prae5 - 2010-01-05

Not sure if it is included in the xbox branch - may want to wait for one of the devs to answer.

HOwever it looks fine, assuming that all the nfo's say the same thing. Debug log of scanning may help.


- blastactionhero - 2010-01-05

mhkay then.. hopefully someone will backport that :/
