How does Kodi load poster and fanart of the Movieset? It seems to me that using Kodi, Artwork Beef, Movieset Automator, you can not load graphics in the "movieset-poster.jpg" format, etc. saved in the movie folder.
Kodi will load the movieset graphics or if they are in a separate folder or in the parent folder of the movies from the collection - with the name: poster.jpg, fanart.jpg, logo.jpg, etc.
Or I do not understand it
At the moment, I copy the collection graphics manually from the movie folder - to the parent folder and change their names.
The next problem appears after changing the name of the films - the movies are moved to the new location correctly but the parent folders with the graphics are not - and here again I have to manually find these folders and transfer the graphics manually. In addition, if the parent folders are empty, they do not delete them - and here I have to find them again and delete them manually.
Whew
I hope you understand what I wrote.

Quote:"2.9 Local movie set artworkSo it probably is not important anymore what the KODI naming requires - when it comes to the Movie set, but it depends on Artwork Beef or from Movieset Automator - they support Movieset graphics.
Local movie set artwork is not supported in Kodi, but it can be added from online services with an "information provider" scraper add-on. The add-on Artwork Beef can add local movie set artwork to your library. Movie Set Artwork Automator hasn't been supported for some time, but it is also capable of adding local movie set artwork to your library."
