...some additional advice if you want to go ahead in modding/skinning; don't use this section, post in SKINNING section instead. Also, instead of asking right away, look for a skin that already does what you want to get, and and try to see how it does it; at the end of the day that's one of the advantages of the free software, the code is available to everyone. That way you will learn faster. Good luck!
First, I tried using marcelveldts "skin.helper.service" addon and using the "SkinHelper.ListItem.Count" value but that had the same issue as before - ie random numbers appearing on the list. So, I moved the value "$INFO[Container(59030).NumItems]" away from the list (itemlayout and focusedlayout sections) and just added it to show next to the poster view.
I chose your method as it loads the value much faster than the "skin.helper.service" method.
The change I made is shown below and I like it much more than before. I show the count just next to the poster. In the list, the default for sets was to show the year of the most recent entry for the set. Instead I now put the word "SET".
View is below - case closed and thanks for your help! Without it, this would never have been accomplished!! I normally do try to figure these things out for myself using the existing code in various skins - just that I've never seen a count of movies in a set in a skin and still don't know of any.
