How to get rid of movie sets - xbmc eden

billybarty · 2012-02-05 04:27

I'm running Eden Beta 2 on ATV2. I have my movie sets set up manually using the nfo files, example:

<movie>
<set>Star Wars Series</set>
<sorttitle>Star Wars 2</sorttitle>
</movie>

It has been working perfectly up until now -- and movies/sets that don't change are fine when rescanned even now.

However, if I change a file, then clean & rescan (or remove a set from from the library, then rescan), I now get 2 problems:

1) The set now shows up twice - once as I set it up (e.g. Star Wars Series) and once using the new auto feature (which gets called Star Wars Collection). I tried setting <flattenmoviesets> to 'false' in advancedsettings.xml -- but that made both disappear & caused the movies to show up individually.

2) Within both the "collection" and "series" groups, I get each movie listed twice.

Please let me know if I can explain this more clearly. If this was already figured out and fixed in Beta 3, sorry for the unnecessary report and THANKS!

NFO sets are still broken in Beta 3

I just did a full uninstall, profile and all, then installed Beta 3, turned on sets in the settings, and added all of my movies to the library. It's ignoring any NFO sets I've created, and instead uses The MovieDB sets. Example, my Alien set (that worked perfectly fine in Beta 1) named "Alien Series" gets renamed to "Alien Anthology". It's also ignoring any sets I've created that The MovieDB doesn't have sets set up for, like a set I created for the two Bill & Ted movies

Is there any way to turn off The MovieDB set scrapping, and just leave my local defined sets on?

I haven't had a problem with my pre-made sets.. Oscar Winners, Sun Down Films, etc... B3 respects them all with the sets on in the settings. I do have the IMdb set as the scraper though.

How do you have your NFOs set up? I just started over with IMdb set up as my scrapper, and it hasn't created any funky sets like The Moviedb yet, but it also seems to be passing over my self created sets

Here's an example of one of my Alien NFOs:

Code:

<movie>

    <title>Alien (Director's Cut)</title>

    <set>Alien Series</set>

    <sorttitle>Alien 1</sorttitle>

</movie>

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078748/

Beta 3 seems to be just ignoring my NFO altogether, because Alien is showing up as just "Alien" and not "Alien (Director's Cut). Which doesn't make sense, because it worked fine in Beta 1, and all of my files are on an SMB share which hasn't been touched since well before Beta 1 was working, so I know the files are in the exact same working order

I really haven't changed my set-up from pre-Dharma, the .nfo was set-up using XWMM.. on occasion I'll update the cover of a movie and it instantly loses the set flag in the .nfo and I'll have to go and re-set it... consider that XWMM does the .nfo change to your library, on the save it becomes part of the set again. I suspect you're changing the .nfo in the folder... and not bringing them back in to the library with a refresh. From my understanding and what I see in my .nfo.. your flag is correct.
