not as far as i know, only i could think of if you rename them regarding to your liking like... james bond: goldfinger; james bond: you only live twice .. and so on so that they grouped through alphabetical sort order

Group Movie Sequels together in the video library? - goku31640 - 2009-03-16

I dont think this can be implemented very well, but I think it would help the people that have more than 300 movies.

Maybe It can be put into an nfo file or something to group Movies and their sequels together.

Example
All movies are in order in a list (or dvd covers depending on your skin) when you get to for example rocky, It Shows "Rocky Movies" or "Rock Sequels" or Rocky Anthology" etc. etc.

It would save a lot of scrolling and look very clean.

I Have all of the Indiana Jones, All Star Wars and a huge list of other movies and sequels, so it would be nice if they were all in a "folder"

I know I could just put them in a folder and use file view, but I really like the Library view.

Hope someone can tell me if this is do-able

currently no. but of course its addable

Shall we submit a ticket for this? There have been several discussions in other threads about this.

unless there is already one, sure

does xbmc has a sort title as well as a title, im still getting used it - but on my HTPC i have them, and have the sort title with a numeric value - eg 'Indiana Jones 4', but the title is 'Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull'

When i view the movies list it places them all together - works for most - but not for things like: el mariachie, desperado, and once upon a time in mexico - really cant figure out a way of doing this unless there was a 'linked to' type tag in the nfo, where you can view all movies that are linked to the each other.

My current work-around is to place all "sets" in their own sub-directory. For example my Bond movies (in single file containers, .iso, .m4v) are in "Action/Bond". I use a script to make sure the directory names are added to the .nfo file as genres, i.e., 'Action' and 'Bond'.

Then in Library mode, genre, under 'Bond' I view by year.

This seems to get the job done with just a little pollution of the genres.

That said, having a <sortorder> tag would be excellent so that all the Bonds would be grouped in other genres such as 'Action'.

Now if I were to put on my wishing cap, I'd wish for adding hierarchical display of genres. For example:

Bond genre's are: 'Action', 'Bond'
LOTR genre's are: 'Action', 'Fantasy'
Top Gun genre is: 'Action'
DnD genre is: 'Fantasy'

Then in the UI I could navigate like:

Code:
genre

+- Action

    +- Bond

        Dr. No

        ...

    +- Fantasy

        Fellowship...

        ...

    Top Gun

or

genre

+- Fantasy

    +- Action

        Fellowship...

        ...

    DnD

Have fun,
Roy

Or for library mode use mixed URL/XML nfo files.

- vskatusa - 2009-03-21

My household has different language speaking members! The reason I did not use the library is because there is no way to classify my movies under LANGUAGE!

I would welcome LANGUAGE as the top level hierarchy!

Example:

ENGLISH
------- action (movie1, movie2,..movien)
------- comedy (movie1, movie2,..movien)
FRENCH
ITALIAN

etc...

When I search, I should be able to search on say FRENCH->Comedy OR ENGLISH->action et all

Any thoughts!

Possible to set sort-titles in .nfo files? - babyface - 2009-04-01

Not sure if this is an Aeon or an xbmc question, but is it possible to set a sort-title in .nfo files? For example, I want to have all my James Bond movies show up next to each other when browsing the movie library, but I want the titles to still show up as "Casino Royale", "Dr. No", etc., not "James Bond: Casino Royale" or something like that.

Series Grouping (Revisited) - indy5 - 2009-05-08

I know this topic has been brought up before, and if this belongs in a generic XBMC feature discussion forum, please have it moved.

Has there been any progress with series grouping (Star Wars, LOTR, etc, displaying as a single item in library view)?

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=29328&highlight=series+grouping

The old thread is pretty dead and I was wondering if this were something we could overcome with an Aeon mod of some kind, instead of changing the xbmc code itself.

Thanks!

Why not use the genre tags like i do for James Bond and Star Trek all i did was edit the genre tag to read Just James Bond And Just Star Trek, Then it groups them all together in the library and if you use cf2009's genre poster mod you can then assign a Poster to it to reflect the content i know it may not be a pefect solutin but it gets the job done Smile

I agree with paul, but I have also wanted this feature for awhile. Is there a trac request submitted? I pretty much have all the series mentioned in the link and would love to see them together without having to edit the name.

Starting a new thread, KNOWING there is another will get you nowhere.
If an existing dev was interested enough to prioritize this feature, it would probably be implemented already. (I would love it for sure).
Of course any code contribution towards this goal will be favorably considered.
