Movie sets not working for smart playlists?

I also just found out that movie sets are not working in smart playlists any longer. I'm using smart playlists to distinct between movies, concerts, kids movies, ... based on their path. I would also call this a broken feature. But it seems that there's little we can do about it.
Unfortunately the change in handling of movie sets kind of ruined the way I was navigating within XBMC :-(

Agreed, I have 2 playlists. (Movies Only & Stand Up). Each have a different base directory.

Quote:E:\My Videos\Movies
E:\My Videos\Stand Up

And, as you have read before, the changes fubared my setup.

Long story short bump

OK just to make sure - If you are new to Movie Sets (like me), don't bother with it right now because it is broken? or did I misunderstand the whole thing?

They do work. Only not in smartplaylists. It's best to already make sure you have them setup corectly.

So if I want to use movie sets, I can see them in Movies menu but not in any custom menus / sub-menus?

Also, I can still place all the movies in the set in the same folder as other movies (each movie is in its own folder). All I have to do is edit each movie-set movies' .nfo files and add <set>xxxxxx Collection</set> and <sorttitle> xxxxxx </sorttitle>. Is that correct?

E.g.:
\\server\Media
...\movie1
...\movie2
...\movie-collection1
...\movie3
...\movie-collection2
etc...

Correct only edit the NFO. There are some programs that you can edit the xbmc database directly if you don't want to use NFO.

The
...\movie-collection1

is not really needed because it won't be used by xbmc

Awesome. Thanks a lot, Martijn.

The question is ? Why did they change it, because people who don´t like moviesets have no sets and so there could no sets in the smartplaylist. People who love movesets have moviesets and they will show in the smart playlist before some month. Now the question why did they change it ?

How can we raise visibility for this issue?
If most people do not use the movie set functionality only few people really care about this problem.

In the meantime I'm getting really annoyed about the change. There are too many things ending up in the movie library (movies, documentaries, concerts, ...). So you have to have smart playlists to distinct between them. Unfortunately without the movie sets being displayed. I've got 10 Star Trek movies, many Bond movies, 4 Indiana Jones, ... That doesn't look nice any more.
