[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 992776, member: 18896"] IMDb+ implements it at multiple levels, what you probably looked at was the IMDb Top 250 system I created to add an automatic twist to it. But in short, any movie that belongs to a series, you set the movie.collections value on, for example "The Twilight Saga". So you can just re-use the data you use from TMDb to generate your titles, just strip them from any additional markers you use to uniquely identiy each movie, so it becomes a "movie collection title". For me that is simple, I just strip all the stuff past the Roman numerals, but you could just use the TMDb info as-is. You might not even have to bother adding support at all, because TMDb scraper might compliment the missing data automatic, just not sure if you will be happy with the result, hence the suggestion to look at it now. What you overlooked to make it work is that MovPic SVN is needed as the current "latest" release does not contain it yet. For that purpose I've put a MovPic test-build up at IMDb+ download section, which supports it, as well as release_date. However to actually "use it", you then still need to manually add a new top menu dynamic category item that uses 'collections'. It works on all skins, because implementation is done via dynamic category. So if the skin can show 'genres' or any other dynamic category, then it can list "collections". Now for release_date skin support modifications will have to be made, but I'm sure those will be added when next MovPic hits the street. At least you can prep your scraper for it. This is first step for Issue 229, once this data is inside the database, then the query to create the "All Movies" list can be adjusted to not list any of the individual movies anymore that have a 'collections' reference, but to list those under their collection reference instead. Well that's my theory anyway, it might take a while before they implement that part, but this is a good start. [/QUOTE]
