Post Display TV series cover image & Movie Limit
Hi Guys I need some help with the following:
1. I have some TV shows with only one season this can be opened up showing all the episodes e.g E01-10 OK however as soon as a series has more that one Season none can be seen only a blank blue screen with some lines and headings if I go and select the series in the sets drop down menu I get all the seasons with all episodes how do I rectify this and I am running r5440 firmware with 2.7-SNAPSHOT r3018 am unable to run the r7716 as YAMJ does not work on this version see my post here viewtopic.php?f=95&t=18829

2. How do I get a TV series to display my own Cover Image for a specific series the individual Seasons artwork is displayed ok but Season one artwork is used for the series cover I have tried putting the Seasons cover into Season one and also tried in the Series Parent folder e.g Tv series Downton Abbey folder with Season 1 and season 2 as subfolders naming the cover as set_Downton Abbey Series_1.jpg.

3. I managed to get my Collections/Box sets working OK however the individual Movies are also listed in movies wall is this right? I am under the impression that these are only visible under the individual box set selected from the box set dropdown menu.

I have been testing the 1000 movie limit and have found that the PlayonHD2 displays a limit count on screen of 1000 adding and indexing movies after is does not increase above 1000 however all the movies even those above 1000 are indexed and displayed OK.

To solve this problem you need at least firmware r7137 or later, as there is a fix for the Sets issue in 7317. I use 7317 on my Mini and it does work with all of the latest versions of YAMJ.

This is best illustrated with an example, and I'll use Friends. Friends has a standard directory structure: -
Friends\Season 1\
Friends\Season 2\
Friends\Season 3\
Etc.
The Cover Art I want to use for the whole thing is called Set_Friends_1.jpg and is saved in the Friends folder. More info on Cover Art can be found in the Wiki

I have checked this on my Jukebox and yes movies are also indexed seperately - but not all of them, which is interesting, as you are right, no movies within a set should be indexed seperately. Have you tried the latest YAMJ version and a clean build of the jukebox?. I'll also look into this further

Hi Doart
I have checked with Omertron and minSetCount is what determines whether movies get amalgamated into a set in a particular category. If there are less than minSetCount movies, then they are listed individually. Default for minSetCount is 2, so if you have 3 movies in a set, in any given category if only 1 of those films exists then that will be shown instead of the set
So add the property
Code:
mjb.sets.minSetCount=1

to your moviejukeboc.properties file and rebuild your Jukebox, and this should clear up the problem

You can also force or create your own sets by having <set>Set Name</set> in the NFO file having the same name as the video title except for the .NFO extension.

It is a plain text file and you can use Notepad to create it.

You'll need to use the XBMC XML format for the .nfo file to use the XML tags
Full details are in the wiki here
The minimum tags for a movie set are: -
Code:
<movie>
            <id>tt123456</id>
            <sets>     
                 <set order="1">Set Name</set>
            </sets>
</movie>

Where tt123456 is replaced by the IMDB id of the movie, in the set tag, order="1" etc is used where you are defining the order in which movies appear in a set.
Cover art would be named Set_Set Name_1.jpg and saved in the same directory as the movie and .nfo files

I have now updated my config to include mjb.sets.minSetCount=1 and it has solved the problem
