Movie sets not working for smart playlists?

I can't seem to get this to work.

I have 4 smart playlists based on 'paths': Films, TV, Kids Film, Kids TV.

I have enabled the 'Group Movies into Sets' option, and set the playlist to sort by <title>.

I have edited the .nfo to have the correct <sort title> and <set>, but if I enter the smart playlist the movies are still in the incorrect order.

You need to refresh the movie info

Thank you, that worked.

(Can't believe I missed it)

I can see where there is 2 ways to use smartlists and sets.

1. You use smartlists based on e.g. Genre, and definitely want your sets in there..
2. You Use smartlist with "sets" as criteria, e.g. smartlist consist of all movies with set tag <set>kids movies</set> and then you don't what "sets" showing in smartlist because the smartlist would be one big new set, and you would go into smartlist and then into the set, which is not very elegant.

I've found, however a workaround. If you add 2 criteria in scenario 2 above, which both are true (e.g. set name, and path) you will get both, all elements, AND the set. In this particular case of course, the set is just a duplicate of all movies already in the smartlist, but I can live with that.

If others have different ways of showing a smartlist with all kids movies in a folder, which is also a part of a set, without also listing the set in the smartlist, I would like to hear from you....

PS! I don't want to disable set view globally of course.
PS2 The reason kids movies are in a set, is I want them under 1 Icon in Movies, and not mixed with all the other movies.

It's a bug that's already fixed for pre-Frodo that the seperate movies appear alongside the movie sets

One alternative is to use login profiles and keep the collections separate and independent. I find that safer as there is no risk of the kids either playing a movie that isn't suitable for them as well as seeing images in the fanart that may be unsuitable.

Have searched and this seems the most appropriate place to ask.

Any way to flatten sets in a smart playlist?

Have the global option enabled and working fine in the library.
Also have a smart playlist that gives me the top 25 unwatched movies in my library based on their IMDB rating, but sets are placed at the top even when the individual movie should be lower down the list somewhere.
