@olympia: IMO this should not be the job for a scraper setting: The scraper should fetch all data available, and sets is part of this.

Instead, we'll simply make it changeable from the UI as well as ensuring that .nfo overrides (where possible) take precedence.

Cheers,
Jonathan

I totally agree, that's why I haven't implemented the option initially (see my comment in the other thread).

...but I am not sure if we can still have that GUI setting for Eden and seeing all the whining, I decided to act. Can be reverted quickly Smile

Is it me or does it seem a bit hit and miss as to whether it scrapes the collection artwork or the one of the movies in the collection instead?

ie

Crank collection

Die Hard collection

Both have posters but they're not getting pulled for me.

The scraper is not getting artwork at all. Only set title where the movie belongs to.

After some internal discussion we made the decision to re-enable set scraping by default. We will introduce a GUI setting to flatten sets instead. So in case you would get in love with sets later, you can turn it on, since the info is there in the Db.

So the option has reverted in scraper version 3.0.5

You're right, the ones that looked to be for collection were in fact the first movie.

So shouldn't the scraper get these if they're available?

Thanks.

The scraper could get these, but no XBMC core support, yet.

Ah, I understand now.

So could the links at least be provided for access from the 'Get thumb/fanart' buttons or is that XBMC core as well?

Thanks.

PS Sorry for taking this off topic, please move if you want.

You mean to include set images in the links for 'Get thumb/fanart' buttons of a movie which belongs to a set? This could be probably possible, but I don't see how this was useful.
