Ive read xbmc wiki and i do now eden supports the fact that tmdb uses movie setes.. However this doesnt run 100% good.
How do hou guys manage uour movie sets?
I dont like the idea of having a nfo file in every movie folder.
Is the addon xwmm the only way thrn? Can it be completely run from xbmc since u need internet explorer..
Or are there other user friendly ways?

You can use any browser, not just Internet Explorer. And in case it wasn't clear, you can use a browser on a different computer than XBMC, as long as it is on the same network.
There isn't any way to change it from within XBMC, for the time being.

I can´t help you with this addon, but...
That´s the reason why I create my *.nfo´s for myself.
At the beginning it is a lot of work. But if your up-to-date it´s just a little work to create such a file (max 5 minutes).
The best of it is that you have the full controll of what is displayed and creating movie sets became very easy too.
You can export your existing database to seperate nfo´s in every folder you have. So this is not a hard work. XBMC does this automatically. You just have to edit some nfo´s to get the movie into the set you wished. It´s just one line you have to add. Posters an fanart can be downloaded manually even a poster for the movie set. Putting them into the same folder makes a very clear structure in your htpc.
Why don´t you like the idea of having seperate nfo files in every folder?

offline solution :
Edit nfo file stored in movie directory ( normaly movie.nfo ) and add row <set>name of set</set>.
You must do it for each movie which you want have in set.
Example :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF - 8" standalone="yes" ?>
<movie>
<title>Centurion</title>
<set>pokus</set>
<originaltitle>Centurion</originaltitle>
<sorttitle>Centurion</sorttitle>

I use xwmm myself and it seems to work fine. Pretty simple to use too. However, I've yet to figure out how to get the movies in the set to display in alphabetical order. Oh, and it doesn't work in my firefox browser so I have to use IE. BLEH. I didn't try chrome.
