Which way have you your movie sets folder set up. Do you need to have extrafanart for a movie set or can it pick up random fanatrt from all the movies in the set.

There are 2 ways to display extrafanart for MovieSets

1) I think you still use the Aeon MQ7 Mod, there are extrafanarts for MovieSets are working with SkinHelper [SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.ExtraPoster] there.

Advantage:

• You do not have to care about anything.
  
• It gets the extrafanarts directly from the movies in the MovieSet
  

Disadvantage:

• It is slow
  
• It works as far as I know only about extrafanart folder of the movies, hard drive is accessed even though everything was cached.
  
• On my side, the MovieSet Main fanart appears for 1-2 seconds and then the extrafanart of movies are displayed. This is the reason why the code was thrown out and it is useless for me. Could prevent the short pop up of the MovieSet Main fanart before the movie extrafanart are displayed with no code/workaround.
  

2) The ArtworkBeef/ArtworkHelper Way 

Advantage:

• Fanarts are read directly into the database the hard drive will not be accessed when everything is cached.
  
• Faster
  
• MovieSet Main fanart and the extrafanarts are shown combined. It makes no difference if you have only one or more fanart. If you have/want only 1 fanart only the main set fanart is be shown, if more, then more.
  

Disadvantage:

• ArtworkHelper/ArtworkBeef needed
  
• Fanart.tv does not have a lot of MoveSet fanart. There is a bit more on TMDB, but most are simple copies of Movie Fanart. I have to admit I never used the ArtworkBeef Download feature for MovieSets. I do not want a Mixup of Fanart.tv and Tmdb and then maybe get many fanarts twice as well.
  
• The biggest disadvantage if you want to have MovieSet extrafanarts, but do not want to use the AB Download feature if you want to do some quality control yourself, then you have to paste/copy everything yourself.
  

________
For example when you use the MovieSet Download in AB in Terminator Collection (Fanart.tv & TMDB) you will get 5 fanarts from Fanart.tv and 5 Fanarts from TMDB at this time. But one is duplicated.

I'll do it a very coplicated way at the moment myself:

Terminator collection

--fanart.jpg (main movieset fanart that represents the collection)
--fanart1.jpg (copy of main fanart of the first terminator movie)
--fanart2.jpg (copy of main fanaart of the secont terminator movie)
--fanart3.jpg and so on...
