Apologies for the gallery's having been taken down, for now they are no more, I do have one host I dont much care about so maybe in the near future I'll push everything there for you guys. In the mean time I've repaired all of the download buttons to once again actually download + I've merged everything the community has built using my provided photoshop tutorial and files. and speaking of.... Here is a link to the Photoshop files and VIdeo guide on building these. I personally no longer contribute to this project aside form the odd clean up and merging of new works done by you guys, but dont let that deter you from requesting something if running photoshop isnt something you can do or have access to. There are still several members here that will most likely be willing to help you out. You just need to ask nicely. As for the plethora of other old projects of mine, they too can be acquired from mediafire by following this link. There's a fair amount of other tutorials, icons, backdrops, and idk what else all dumped there in one place to make it easier to grab what you want. So go ham, get any or all, it's there for the taking, but most of all, please enjoy

Hello everyone - after some recent server updates (nothing else has changed) I am now seeing duplicates in Boxsets/Collections - any ideas? I have always used Auto boxsets if that matters. Also some of the duplicates don't have a cover (see screenshot), most do...

Hi All, So previously I was manually building the folder structure with as Collections but kept it in the movie folders. i.e. Let Me In Lethal Weapon Collection [boxsets] Life As We Know It Lifted Little Children ... ... Major League Collection [boxsets] etc However, Auto Boxsets plugin removes this manual requirement, I can just have movies listed out in the movie folder. For example, if I have all of the Men in Black movies in their individual Men in Black 1, 2, 3 (respectively) folders... Auto Boxsets logically groups these movies as a collection for you. So here is my problem. Auto Box Set plugin is working correctly, but it is creating the folders and metadata (backgrounds) on my C:\ drive which is a big no no. C:\ drive is my OS/Fast App drive so I don't want things like metadata to be stored there. Under Metadata manager I can see Collections but no option for me to edit the path and assign it to a data drive. Is this possible? How can I change this path? I want to change the path prior to removing my manual folder structure and allowing the plugin to group things logically. Also, the old structure and Auto Boxsets work together only through the browser interface. If you pull collections up under a device (IOS, Android, Roku) only collections grouped by Auto Boxsets show. So basically, you have to configure your library to only use the Auto Boxsets functionality if you want device access. Thanks! Draz

Hi All.... Looking for some image options for to replace the default Collections folder 1600 x 900 "Primary Image" for the home 'My Media' view..... Does anyone have artwork to share? Thanks in advance to anyone able to share something cool

Just wondering if there's an easy way to update the boxsets I have using this plug in. Several times I've had DVD's in boxsets and then updated them with Blurays so the set contains both. If I remove the DVD's, the number of discs showing in the boxset image doesn't decrease - my Aliens boxset for example, apparently contains 5 movies...

Just a quick questions...I decided to use this plug-in and moved away from the old box sets folder structure. So far only a few have showed up, and from what I found from searching the forum is that probably because of the old Movie.xml files. Some of the ones I have are from a number of years ago. Do need to manually refresh each movie, or is a better option for this to work faster? Thanks guys.

Anyway we can add a treatment/overlay to better indicate a Boxset while in thumb view? Right now, we do have a few options to show regular posters with some discs to show it is a collection, but in thumb view, these do not apply. Here is example:

Howdy, I used to have a section called "Box Sets" that was a folder for my MBC/Web. This worked out well. Then came along the Auto BoxSet plugin. This was a stroke of brilliance, and I love it. It saves me a lot of time. There is however, one thing I have been trying to do, and it seems to not want to do. I rip both 3D / Blu-ray of each of my movies. This way I have them both and depending on my mood, I can watch one or the other. This is where it gets kind of annoying. I have to go though each one and remove the "Collection" ID in the meta data, because in the case of Avengers, there is only 1 movie, and it puts them together as a "Collection". So basically its making a collection of every 3D movie I have... Is there away to make an entire section exempt? So I could flag my 3D movie folder as not scan-able ? (It also likes to put them back when it re-adds the meta data. Also, I have tried (and failed) to map the C:\Users\HTPC\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\root\default\Box Sets -> to my //moves/boxsets/ so I can get it as a root level folder (for the web) Is this possible? Thanks

I have "Automatic BoxSets" v0.0.2.4 installed on the server and I notice that in the plugin catalog it is now listed as "Auto Box Sets" v0.0.2.4 which does not show as installed. I assume this is because the name of plugin has been changed. Is this intentional and what affect will this have on my install?

@@ebr I wasnt sure if this was possible or should be moved to feature requests but I would like to be able to move the default location of the Automaic BoxSets from %appdata%\MediaBrowser-Server\data\collections to a custom location. Is it currently possible or could you build this in ? Would expect too much work from this. If you are swamped with other requests I am happy to look at it just couldnt see the code up on github

Hi, I am on the latest releases of beta for MB3 server and classic, and just realised yesterday, that my boxsets collection are no longer showing the movies within each folder. This used to be okay, and since I haven't checked for about a month am unsure when it changed. My structure is \\server\boxsets\alien\alien 3 (shortcut) \aliens (shortcut) etc all shortcuts point to the general location of my movies ie \server\movies\alien 3 when I first implemented the boxset structure I found the collection.xml generated by MCM interfered in the MB3 scan so that I could see the top tier folder with images but it showed as empty for actual movies (the shortcuts). I removed all the collection.xml's and the scans worked fine. Can anybody point me in the right direction to solving this? Is there a new structure I should be using etc? Thanks in advance Brad

Hello @@ebr. Love this Plugin, but don't use it quite yet due to the way I use my own boxsets right now. I'm wondering if there could be a few options added into this plugin. First, this one I might potentially use, but I also saw another user request this in the reviews of the plugin. Quoted from Plugin Catalog; I have all my box sets in a different folder from my movies, and tend to use it to cleanup/decrease "movies" folder. Perhaps this could be tied into the Auto-Organize piece of the server, it could not only create the Boxset folders, but it could move the movies (folder with MetaData and all) in there as well. And I use the format of Name [boxSet] for all mine. So any chance if the automove/organize of the files was implemented, it could name them in this fashion as well? Just makes it more human readable when going into the folder. Also, I have a separate folder for all animated movies. It would be nice to be able to auto create boxsets in two different locations, and creating the boxsets from certain area's of my collection. Therefore when I have dumped all the Shrek, Toy Stories, etc in there, it would combine them into a boxset, but not be pulling in the other movies from a different area of my collection. I think these are quite complicated asks, so here is another possible request/option. Could it be possible for it to not create boxsets if they already exist there in the Name [boxSet] format? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Auto BoxSets has done its magic and found 47 collections for me I have 5 out of the 47 have some images downloaded and none have MetaData xml files created. What could have gone wrong here? MBS Version 3.0.5131.18923 Automatic BoxSets 0.0.1.2

Hi Devs and Supporters - I just wanted to say thanks for the recent server and plugin releases that are making MB3 better and better. I just installed MBS Version 3.0.5131.18923, the boxset plugin and the MB3 Chrome Companion extension. Great work! I also just discovered the new little "jumpy uppy thingy" in the web client when my mouse hovers over the base of the episode thumb allowing me to do all sorts of things that used to take a few more clicks. Also, nice work with the season thumbs on the unaired episodes to eliminate confusion. I'm proud to be a supporter of this project. Keep up the great work! Cheers, @Tanamur

Example; Star Wars, 6 Movies plus 2 deleted scenes video files in a Specials folder under the Boxset folder. Tried a few different ways to display this correctly but nothing works just right so hoping others may feel a need for MB3 to support this.
