Hi there,
I wanted to include a movie set in the results returned by a scraper. It seems however that <set></set> does not work in the GetDetails function. I've hear that Cine-Passion does it, but dont know how. Can anyone help me here?
Thanks,
Mano3m

The following xml does not create a new set or add to the set "My Tester". What am I doing wrong? (the rest of the data is added to xbmc)

Still dont know why it didnt work, but when adding the actual xml for retreiving the collection it worked... I now have updated the tmdb scraper to add movies to the collection available on tmdb (like adding the new pirates of the caribbean to the pirates of the caribbean collection set). Anyone interested?

You're doing this by scraping the website or is it included in the API response?

Meh, not an option for the official repository as we want to keep it clean (API only). We've already requested an update for the API so we can handle sets.

From what I have read this was requested 1.5 years ago and not much progress yet... No functionality over cleanliness strategy applicable here?

We will update the scraper soon (olympia is working on it). As the change came a bit too late, we can't support full movie set scraping in Eden but we'll add it after the upcoming release.
