FR: Server- Boxsets in boxsets


Recommended Posts

Posted

I would like to be able to put boxsets within other boxsets example-

               Avengers-

                          Ironman collection

                                         Iron Man 

                                         Iron Man 2

                                         Iron Man 3

                          Thor collection

                                         Thor 1

                                         Thor 2

                           Marvel one shots

                           Captain America

                           Avengers

 

in this example within the avengers boxset I would want it to contain the boxsets of ironman, thor and the marvel one shots

This is currently doable as I have done exactly what you are mentioning in your example. I do not use autoboxsets or pointer directories and files, I have set up everything in my movies folder structure. I created Folder structures for each of the collections with respective move folders inside, allowed the metadata to be loaded by MBS then moved the Ironman and Thor boxsets folders into the Avengers boxset folder as well as the Hulk and Captain America folders. I would assume you could do this also if using pointer directories and files. I may not be using quite the right terminology but hopefully understandable. As long as you have a collection.xml file in the top and nested collection folders it will work.

I had it set up like that as well, until I switched to auto boxset (trying to make as much of my organizing as automatic as possible). the plan was to let auto boxset do what it does with the main boxsets then, through the server, make a custom boxset containing the others that auto boxset made. that plan failed

The auto boxset plugin is limited in this regard. I have set up something similar to above for my Animated Disney collection which has dozens of movies and hundreds of shorts. The Media Folder is Disney Animation and the various box sets are within it. Each one manually created and managed.
