all4dom 73 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 If I understand setting up boxsets correctly, the main movie directory will contain the word boxsets & the directory will hold each movie in a subfolder? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Example of how to set them up: \\server-name\movies\ The folder you point the MB server to\\server-name\movies\Die Hard Collection [boxset] The actual boxset\\server-name\movies\Die Hard Collection [boxset]\Die Hard An individual movie within the boxset \\server-name\movies\Die Hard Collection [boxset]\Die Hard 2 \\server-name\movies\Die Hard Collection [boxset]\Die Hard 3 \\server-name\movies\Die Hard Collection [boxset]\Die Hard 4 Edited October 14, 2013 by gcw07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abobader 2960 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Good day, The main folder "holder" as have the tag [boxset] in the name of it, example: D:\Home Alone [boxset] Then sub folders for your movies, like: D:\Home Alone [boxset] D:\Home Alone [boxset]\Home Alone (1990)\ D:\Home Alone [boxset]\Home Alone 2\ My best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashkelly 62 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 You can also use shortcuts within the boxset folder if you do not want to have all of you movies under the boxset folder. Personally, this is how I have my collection setup as I got into boxsets a bit late and had no desire to move all of my movie files around. One tip though, if you do go the route above and you are using shares within your file system (UNC paths in MB3) be sure to add the UNC path shortcut rather than the drive letter shortcut.

BATTLE DONKEY 98 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Ok, folder & sub folders with boxset tag in each. Thanks guys. Only the first folder needs the [boxset] tag, not the sub folders Edited October 14, 2013 by BATTLE DONKEY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfnetwork 514 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) I prefer the shortcut method... Leave your original movie folders normally structured (one folder per movie) and in the boxsets folder, create "(collection name) [boxset]" and simply put shortcuts of the original movie folders in it... Like this, you can easily make changes without moving the movie files... just shortcuts... Edited October 15, 2013 by sfnetwork 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abobader 2960 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yes, it personal view matters, i hate indeed shortcut to flag anything even for boxset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
