In the Movie menu, can I ground movies Lord of the Rings (all 3 of them) to make it kind of like in TV-show menu, where, after selecting the season you can pick the episode to watch.

I want the same for movies similar to Lord of the Rings or God Father... so that I can go to "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" and then I can pick which one I want to watch (1st, 2nd or 3rd).

In themoviedb.com I saw this:
http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/119 (for Lord of the Rings)
http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/230 (for Godfather)

Since they have them there, I was thinking maybe it would be possible to do something like this, but I don't know hjow ....

Can someone help?

Yes - you need to do it via an .nfo file currently. See the "Movie sets" page in the wiki.

You could use Ember Media manager to combine sets(Sets Manager in Tools)

Or check the program from my signature.

If you don't want to use a media manager or export your whole library you can just create a movie.nfo with the IMDb url for that movie and the set name then just refresh those movies in the set

Code:

<movie>  
  <set>Lord of the Rings Trilogy</set>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120737/

I tried your method but it didn't work.

I have Back to the Future already in my library, all 3 movies.

I created a 'Back to the Future Trilogy.nfo' file with

<movie>
<set>Back to the Future Trilogy</set>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088763/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096874/

I tried Updating the Library with each movie but nothing happened or changed.

[jmarshall]

That's not correct - you need a separate .nfo file for each movie, each of which contains the URL to for that movie only.

Ok edited my previous post can see it might have sounded as that's how it should be done lol

Each movie in the trilogy has its own nfo with the single url just for that movie then you refresh each one, use the IMDb scraper

Back to the Future

Code:

<movie>
<set>Back to the Future Trilogy</set>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088763/

Back to the Future Part II

Code:

<movie>
<set>Back to the Future Trilogy</set>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096874/

Back to the Future Part III

Code:

<movie>
<set>Back to the Future Trilogy</set>
</movie>

Thanks for clarifying. I got it working now. I had to manually find and add the trilogy thumb which was my only snag.

[Flomaster]

any way to have a movieset NFO file so I can add fanart, thumbnail, plot info etc

-=Jason=-

[Galefury]

Nope, you can only choose a thumbnail for now. More options in the future.

I read about all the set info for the nfo's but was wondering if there is a way to have listed in the movies catalog a heading like "Multi Set Movies"? Then a sub set with all the collections. Currently I have been using this as my nfo file
<movie>
<set>() Harry Potter Series </set>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330373/

Now I put the () in front so when I hit movies all my multi sets come up first instead of say "(500) days of Summer", but what I really am looking for is a way to get the collections into a set of there own. Can something like this be done?

<movie>
<set> Multi Movie Sets </set>
<subset> Harry Potter Series</subset>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330373/

I would then create new nfo's for all the subset movies in the collections I have.

Dont yell to bad at me for being such a noob but dont have any knowledge of xml files or coding.

No, what has already been stated here and linked to is possible.

Do you mean you want a library that shows all your sets because you can do this of sorts

That option will present you with all your sets you could add it to favourites and put it in the main/sub menu how hard that would be would depend on the skin
