I was running Eden on a Windows 7 64bit system and constrolling with latest Constellation on a new iPad mini. Everything was fine. A couple of days ago upgraded to Frodo and still have the latest Constellation on the iPad. In the Movies selection on the iPad with the view selection set to movie title all is fine but I like seeing the movies in collection like the Bond films together etc. Problem is when I select the view to tags it puts the collections together but I end up with double covers showing of a bunch of movies like for example the movie 300 shows as a single and also as a collection. I have removed the userdata folder from XBMC and rebuilt all configurations and my movie, tv, and music databases etc. I'm not sure where to go to fix it or if it's just a Frodo bug or Constellation bug or a combination. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I rescraped and added them all again. All the movies show up correctly in XBMC itself. All sets like all the Die Hard movies etc are correct and all the movies not in sets are shown correctly. I removed database from Constellation on the iPad and cleared the image cache, rebooted iPad and resynced. Still the same problem. For instance I have the Die Hard movies all showing up individually and then a cover with the Collection tag over it. The single entries work fine, but if I click on the Die Hard collection it says no movies found. It seems it has to be Constellation. Any thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?
I have had the same issues. I think I figured out the problem. I believe it is an issue with TMDb. All of the movies that I'm having trouble with are a part of a collection, as identified by TMDb. Some of the movies I didn't even realize were in a collection, like Beetlejuice and Inglourious Basterds. Anyway, I'm having trouble with 13 movies (300, Avatar, Beetlejuice, From Dusk Till Dawn, Ghostbusters, GI Joe The Rise of Cobra, Hunger Games, Jaws, Prometheus, Road Trip, Starship Troopers, Despicable Me, Inglourious Basterds). In each situation, I have only downloaded one movie in the set. Some of the movies have parts of the collection that have not been released yet. I don't know what the issue is, exactly, but I've done everything I can think of to fix the problem. There's something that XBMC Constellation and XBMC Commander are looking at to identify them as part of a collection. The movies do not appear as part of a collection in my XBMC library (I'm using a jailbroken Apple TV 2). I've gone so far as to delete the movie, remove the movie from the library, reload the library, redownload the movie, then rescrape. The problem gets resolved momentarily, but the next to I try to update my library in XBMC Constellation or XBMC Commander, they get identified as part of a collection again. I'm guessing Hogman62 will find the same thing.
I've not tried it yet, but I think I'm going to make a custom NFO file for each movie to see if I can force them to appear as just a single movie. Hopefully that will fix it!
And, to get the movies to show up in the collections in the movie library within Constellation, I have found the following works for me. Refresh the library, then pick the "Show Details" option for the drop down box in the upper right corner, then refresh the library while in "Show Details" mode. When you turn off the "Show Details" option, your movies should be in the collections.
Edit: I also discovered an error in Constellation while in the Movie Library Show Details screen. The hours and minutes are screwed up for the movies. The movie 300, for example, is 116 minutes 32 seconds long. In Constellation, the movie is identified as 116h 32min. I don't know if the developer is a regular here, but I'll try to send him a message for a future update.
