I installed the Movie Set Artwork Automator add-on as you suggested. The script only seems to do half the task though. You have to manually download from TheMovieDB each movie set poster and fanart image and I placed them in a new central Movie Set artwork folder on the file server.
The artwork files are all dumped in to this one folder and named like:
MovieSetName-poster.jpg
MovieSetName-fanart.jpg
You then point the add-on to that folder and it will automatically assign that artwork to the correct Movie Sets etc.
So it does save time in the fact that you don't have to manually choose and browse to artwork on each movie set in XBMC. But it would be nice if it auto downloaded the movie set artwork for you like Artwork Downloader would.
I have about 300 movie sets that appear in my main Movie Libraries view so will take some time to manually download the artwork for each of them.
Cheers.
EDIT: When looking in the Movie Sets sub-menu item there are many more movie sets / collections visible than what I see in the main movies area, these additional ones in the movie sets sub-menu are only displaying one movie. I must only have one movie in my library from these additional sets, yet the sets are still displayed. The red media cases I see in the main Movies menu / library all show more than one movie. So I am just going to manually download artwork for those and ignore the other additional sets where I only have one movie in that set. If that makes sense?
