Hello everybody
i try today the RC1 Helix and want to add some movies on my main machine ( for testing ).
I notice that i cant scrape any "Movie Set Folder" i have on my HDD - I use it on Gotham without any Problem.
This is the Structure of my Collection Folders: ( for example )

[Rocky Collection]- inside this folder are all Movies of the set with own folders + Movie Set Images:poster.jpg,logo.png,fanart.jpg,extrafanart1.jpg
...[Rocky 1] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...
...[Rocky 2] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...
...[Rocky 3] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...
...[Rocky 4] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...

[Indiana Jones Collection]- inside this folder are all Movies of the set with own folders + Movie Set Images:poster.jpg,logo.png,fanart.jpg,extrafanart1.jpg
...[Indiana Jones 1] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...
...[Indiana Jones 2] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...
...[Indiana Jones 3] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...

... etc
when i try to scrape it in kodi it start for a second to scrape and then done
i try all possible selections ( name is the same like the folder, recursive on/off ... )
i try local folder and smb folder - no result
i get no error in log file either

is it a bug or is this "collection" structure no longer supported ( i need to use it this way, because i use AEON NOX Skin with Movie Set Mod )

thx 4 help

As far as I know, we don't use folder structure to determine movie sets. That data is normally taken from the scraper or filled in by an add-on. However, it should at least still scan in the movies so long as "Name is the same as folders" is off and "recursive" is on.

And maybe you forgot to enable "Group movies in sets" in the video settings?!

first of all thx 4 answers
@david1977 - i try it but doesnt work either - and i think its just to put the movies in the right sets ( nothing much to do with scraping )
@ned scott - i use this structure for a while now and have no probs at all - its much easier to manage the sets and the special set images for it ( and the Movie Set Mod for Aeon Nox ) - maybe its a small "recursive" bug ?
i will wait for the next rc maybe

we never had any code that looked on how you organised your moviesets. it's either from NFO files or straight from TMDb. We never looked at folder structure

maybe this is my problem... too bad

[Martijn]

Nope that's unrelated

Your source is named

Code:

...[Rocky 1] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...
...[Rocky 2] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...
...[Rocky 3] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...
...[Rocky 4] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...

...[Indiana Jones 1] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...
...[Indiana Jones 2] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...
...[Indiana Jones 3] - all normal stuff inside... Movie,Images,nfo...

so

[Rocky Collection] <-- Set content here or remove that folder
[Indiana Jones Collection]- <-- Set content here or remove that folder

And paying particular attention to how the Moviename Folder is named...

AEON NOX uses some own script for movies sets that Kodi doesnt need anymore... in any case if that worked and now doesnt you want to go complain to the addon author.

THX 4 response nUniversal
i will ask in the nox forum for a solution for helix then

[un1versal]

The solution is to use a structure and naming convention that agrees with what xbmc/kodi expects.

Works for everybody else.

already change my structure for movie sets - seems to work now

Confirmed an issue of folder depth. Tested with Helix B5 and OK. Problem appears in RC-1.
folder structure as

Code:

D:\Collections\300 Collection\300\300.mkv

Helix RC-1 will not find movie 300.mkv, but move it to

Code:

D:\Collections\300 Collection\300.mkv

and is found.

Tested with another movie

Code:

D:\Collections\Action\3 Days To Kill (2014)\3 Days To Kill (2014).mp4

and rc-1 will not find the movie.

I use scraper Local Information Only but tested with scraper MovieDatabase and same result.

I am also having the same problem.

There's absolutely no reason to have your movie sets in that folder structure. That looks like that bizarre folder structure that was required if you want to use Movie Set Artwork Automator back before you could just dump all the movie set art into a single folder. You can put movies in sets either with a media manager like MediaElch, EMM or Media Companion or you can put them in sets directly from XBMC now. That folder structure is going to cause nothing but problems.
