I guess then it's a case of what should be the default. I'm just explaining why that commit was there, but no change was observed in XBMC's behavior.
The real issue here is that a lot of users who submit data to themoviedb use sets when they're not supposed to. The two examples given in this thread are prime examples of bad movie sets that go against themoviedb's guidelines. That and bad squeals we wish never happened :D
EDIT: I didn't scroll down far enough. Seems the commit was reverted.

Aye, but I think they're saying that they want sets data, but only if they have a set that has more than one movie.

lol <its not a lol its a Imperial fighter.
If it was the case of one or two movies, I wouldn't have chimed in, it is like 40 new additions that contain a single movie.
In case of the argument not to use movie sets node, I hear you loud and clear, Though honestly when you want just movie sets ideally you want the node because is purely a segregation issue, that complicates navigating and sorting through a view that was previously uncluttered with useless stuff.
If I wanted to waste 15+/- clicks (via remote) to get to a movie inside a set I wouldn't use set s node and would stick to library.
IMO having single movies in sets node defeats totally the general idea of sets and redefines it with senseless data.
The ideal would be irrespective what tmdb says, xbmc should be smart enough to see thers is no 2nd movie in that set and therefore not add it to sets node.
Since I cant patch this myself, I guess solution is to waste half hour removing the sets with some tool.
hehe.

Do you also want us to not show genres when there's only one item? What about tags? What about actors? What about directors? What about years, countries, studios? How not showing tvshows that only have a single episode?
Why are sets different? Why should we hide some but not others. Maybe you didn't know they were part of a set, and knowing that now you might go out and buy some more movies.

ok ok dont bite my head off.
Of course, stupid of me to expect a movie set to actually have another set in my sources before its considered a set (like it use to). doh!

Honestly, uNiversal, your sarcasm (and yes it's very evident, even in text form) is tiresome. It's been shown that the behavior you're so unhappy with is not necessarily XBMC's fault, but rather the database sites themselves. You've also been given several solutions to the issue.

uNi's no hater, nor is he really bitching about this so much as just stating an opinion (that he's entitled to).

Fair enough. I value his input, as he's added a lot to the community. My sarcasm meter's a little wonky...

I'm on uNi's side here.... a Box set implies more than one, they never showed up in SVN T! Eden "sets". This is one small step back IMHO.

Actually they do show in eden if you use a skin that has " movie sets". It just doesn't show if you go into regular library types.
