[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 1007707, member: 103549"] Hi NLS Feel for you, managing content you already have but isn't 'sorted' is a real pain. Assuming the file name convention is a good match to the movie, MovingPictures will do a fine job of creating the meta data, into it's own DB. My collection is ordered as follows. Top_Level [example Adventure] -- Series [example Die Hard] -- Series [example Jason Bourne] -- All other adventure files. I have 6 top levels, Adventure, Comedy, Classics, Drama, SciFi & Horror, with small numbers of series within top level [most are in SciFi]. So, you could look at something similar and shuffle content accordingly. Then, let movingpictures catalogue the content - then you can get clever and use GUI Setting to set categories of movies by name/path/etc/etc - see [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/creating-box-sets.117155/#post-972600[/url], as this may help in understanding - I know your trying to create boxed sets, but lots of useful in that thread from RoChess and others.
