MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win (with music library scraping)
(2016-09-01, 21:11)Powerhouse Wrote: I've used MediaElch for several years now (and tell people all the time to use it, instead of Kodi's built in scrapers). But to be honest, I have never been able to figure out the Movie sets within MediaElch.

Since all my Movies are in separate folders, where is the Master info (for a Set) placed? Do I need to create a new folder for the Set (Aliens for example), then move all the Alien Movies (Alien, Aliens, Alien3, Alien Resurrection, etc) to that set? If this is how it's done, that is a horrible way, as you would always have to move movies around if they decided to make a squeal.

If someone has a detailed walk through of this feature, with examples, that would be awesome.

Keep everything as normal, each movie it it's own folder etc.
The 'set' is simply a defined by a common 'SET' tag in the NFO file i.e. 'Batman Series' or 'Bourne Trilogy' which allows Kodi to group them in the UI. You can name the 'SET' as you wish, and any movie using the same SET name will be part of that set.

Kodi will use the artwork from one of the movies in the SET when displaying the set on screen. When you choose the set on screen, it will simply then 'expand' the set and show the individual movies in that set.

It's incredibly simple, and there's no need to change a thing in your file structure etc.
