using MQ3 but going for MQ4 questions - Skank - 2012-08-20 12:08

Hi,

I got a clean xbmc install, and using MQ3 at this point
I'm looking forward to MQ4 , obviously
But what i want to know..

Before i set up my library complete as i want, will all things be the same, when i migrate from 3 to 4?
I mean, i wont lose my artwork... and stuff?
Even "watched" items...
Will movies set to watched, also be "watched" in MQ4?
Even for other things?

The whole library, artwork and all other things not related to skin will stay the same. You will only need to configure the skin again - select desired views, options.

Updating to MQ4 won't damage your library, but if you do a clean install of XBMC, then all of these will be lost.

ok cool Smile
good to know


How do you guys make your movie sets?

Do you use nfo files or use an addon for that? Or something else?


RE: using MQ3 but going for MQ4 questions - CutSickAss - 2012-08-20 20:33

Eden groups movie sets automatically, no need for nfos any more (unless you want something too specific). Go to Settings -> Video -> Group movies in sets option (don't remember exactly how it's called).

You could use Movie Sets, its an addon, but it's been disabled. I think they're making some improved better version.

You can edit nfos though. Just add a line like: <set>James Bond Collection</set> to each movie you want in the collection. You then have to remove the movies from your library and re-add them in order to force the nfos to be read.

Where can i find that add-on?

I dont want to use nfo files (i dont like the idea, all nfo files are placed within my movie folders) and i do know eden groups movies automatically
But sometimes it goes wrong (especially the order...) so i want to be able to adjust it.. in a good way

I do know XWMM but it doesnt work yet Wink
But i would prefer being able to adjust in xbmc ...
