How do you add PPV's to your collection Deano?

Right, the three ppvs in question (Rumbles 88,89 and 90) still aren't leaving the movies section even though they have had the production company changed in tmdb and then rescraped.
Where am I going wrong?

Today I finished WCW through 1998. I had done 2001 previously, so that leaves 99/00. I omitted the iPPV's (internet PPV's) that they ran. It seems most people think they were pretty much audio only, however a few claim that there was video streaming over 52kbps dial-up connections (that was unwatchable). There are no screens, no posters, and no video releases of these events. So I decided to leave them out.
B.Moxham: Good catch on the production companies. I went back and checked all pre 92' ppv's and verified they are all properly filled out now. Also, nice quality poster on the 93' Rumble. I like that.
Deano316 - I did a lot of searching on names and tried to change all the ones I could back to their proper names. Batista was locked with the wrong name, so I've put a request in to get it fixed. I have a feeling that when they did work on the database to bring the TV stuff in, it reverted some of the name. Now we are stuck with tons of dupes, as it imported names from IMDB that were primarily wrong. I haven't decided if I am going to take the time to fix it all at this point.
random tip; In my collection I have found that adding the aired order number from that year in the "sort title" field helps me keep my PPV's ordered by year, and then within the year they are ordered by release date.
edit:
WCW 1999 is complete. One year to go.

Howdy fellas. I was asked today if I would like to join the moderator team at TMDB, and have accepted. I will have the ability to clean things up and lock verified fields directly now, which will be really helpful with the influx of doubles ever since the IMDB actor database was imported.
Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, as it will help us speed up efforts here in getting these PPV's to look as good as possible.

BTW, WCW is complete as of last week, and I have verified it is 100% scrapeable. I will be creating custom set posters for them just like I did with the WWE, and will be happy to share them here.
I found a little trick in regards to set posters. See, if you make all the WWE PPV's in sets by year, such as 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, etc... then when you put WCW ppv's in those sets, it inherits the poster cover you previously set... which means you get WWE collection covers on all your WCW sets. So here is a little trick. Make the WCW set with a space on the end. The space will be invisible, but it will make XBMC think it is a totally different set.
When I do my ECW PPV's I will add 2 spaces to the end of those sets, and so on. This allows each companies PPV's to have their own poster covers, but also retain standard yearly naming conventions for the sets.

exoscoriae is it possible for you to re-upload those yearly movie set images? The original link appears to be down.

Hi guys,
Huge thanks for the tutorial and all the work you've put in so far.
I've just got 2 issues whilst setting this up.
1. I can't seem to group my PPVs in Sets in my movies folder. Followed the instructions correctly but they still appear seperately?
2. When using the Landscape Single Logo I can't seem to get any logos to appear at that bottom? Just has the titles of the PPVs on the scrollwheel.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I was wondering if anyone is willing to upload there folder structure with all the artwork/nfo n stuff. Excluding. Obviously the video file. So we can jus place the video file in our self and rename it.
I doubt any one would be willing to do this?

But I need the files.... Just not the large videos. I'm familiar with DOS, however I don't believe xcopy has a size filter.
