Is is possible to have movie set in XBMC and Aeon?
let me explain..
have Star Trek movies on my hd..
is it possible to have only one title (Star Trek Collection) to appear in Movies Browser and when i click on it, the icons of all the star trek movies appear and from there i chose which one to play.
In popcorn hour i ve done it using the /set flag in nfo file...
is it possible for this also in XBMC and Aeon?
how??

Toooooo bad.....

btw in Popcorn hour's nfo this can be achieved by this
<sets>
<set order="1">Star Trek Collection</set>
</sets>
and so on for each movie of the set...
and if u have
Set_Star Trek Collection_1.jpg
this will be the image that will be displayed in the set...

hope they do that some day Smile

This is a feature I've always wanted too. It will happen some day.

The workaround is to use custom genres, but it is less than elegant.

Yes it does. I also edit the titles to include I, II, III, etc if necessary.
