Hey,

I'm still reletivly new to Kodi, and have installed this skin (which is awesome!!) and am playing around with settings etc ... but I have a couple of questions. I'm not big into coding and haven't edited any code within Kodi, but am willing to give it ago if that's what I need to do.

1) Sets. I have quite a few 'movie sets' (Halloween, Friday 13th etc) which I would live to display as sets. I have enabled 'Movie Sets' under settings but the films do not display as sets. I don't have any set artwork for them so how do I go about getting this to happen.

2) Media Cases. How can I get my covers to display with the cases, BluRay etc? Is this only available in certain views or again have I missed something.

Thank you in advance, and I apologise as I am sure these have been asked before ...

Hi InkandDrink,

For no#1 you'll probably have to do some of the following:

1) Group your movies into sets, if you don't use a media manager (Medlech, Ember, Tiny etc. etc.) then you can do this in kodi, when on a film press c for the context movie, then it should be manage and finally manage move set, you should get a window which will list any existing sets you have in Kodi already, if you have none this will be empty, you then need to select on the right something like 'add a set', this then allows you to type in a movie set name which the film will be assigned to. Job done, but kodi doesn't actually turn it into a movie set until there is more than one film in the set, so you'll need to find the next film for the set and repeat the press c, manage, manage movie set but this time you should have the existing set listed which you just selected and there you go.

Rinse and repeat for all your sets and movies to get them all group into their movie sets or try scraping your library into a media manager, most will update the movie set, you just need to save the changes which updates the .nfo for the movies and then re-scrape your library so the latest nfo changes are applied to Kodi.

2) For artwork you need to look into the addon movieset artwork automator, but you have to spend the time with fanart.tv, tmdb.org and google search to find the images for your movieset, fanart should be first stop as this can have posters, banners, logos etc. etc. You'll need to download these and then either use MAA addon or do it manually via pressing c again then manage, then choose art and then selecting whichever art you want to assign i.e. poster then find the file and select. You have to repeat this press c.... and so on for each piece of art you want to assign. Unless you setup you movies and artwork for MAA to do it all for you.

for no#2 check your skin settings and then the view settings as well and see if you have all the correct settings applied for the cases.

Mike.
