Title: Theater View Grid layout and Movie series.
Post by: Boltron on November 22, 2012, 08:33:12 am

Theater View, Grid.

With MC17 I never quite found a way to group movie series (ex. Harry Potter 8 films) together and show only a single poster that opens to list the 8 films and allow you to play any one.

Is anything like this possible with MC18?

I think this thread touches a similar topic. http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=75831.0

Personally I hope MC will scrape and use the Movie fields called "Part of the" from themoviedb.org. This would make it possible to automatically group movies together in groups based on that tag.

This is the same concept as CD boxed sets and TV Series etc. Basically, you need an extra field to populate to do the grouping, as discussed in the thread above, and use that field as part of the sorting/grouping options in your view.
