I know I am posting a lot. But wanted to do a different Topic for each question so that others can seach. I was not able to find any results this question.
Does anyone have the instructions on how to setup Movie Collections in MC/HT ?
Other products such as Kodi and Plex and Emby do this Automatically.
I would like to put movies that there is more than 1 of in a Collection when in HT looking around.
There's ways to do this but IIRC not automated. You COULD scrape the full TMDB (TMDB contains collection data) info for each movie item, store it as a .NFO with the same filename as your movie, and then use the collection field to group things by their collection ID.
JRiver will import MOST things from an NFO, if you make a 'field' matching the exact name of the field in the NFO. Certain field names will not work / import from NFOs for example [Tag] will not, if you want 'tags' from an .NFO you have to re-write the field as something like [Tag2] and create the corresponding field in JRiver first.
I have corresponding NFOs for each movie file, and even if the file itself isn't in JRiver's database, it'll read the .nfo and grab tags / metadata from there before playback. I write my NFOs mostly using IMDB's metadata. It's more consistent and comprehensive than TMDB IMO.
