<section begin=intro />{{kodi}} can optionally sort your movies into sets for better organization. Movies sets are for sequels or movies that are otherwise apart of a directly related series, rather than a genre or [[playlist]]. Movies can only be in one set at a time. Movie sets can be defined by the scraper, by [[NFO files]], or by using Kodi's built-in sets editor.<section end=intro />
 
 
{{note|Movies can only be in one set at a time, and are meant for series of movies such as sequels. For multiple sets/collections check out '''[[video library tags]]'''.}}
 
== Grouping movies into sets when browsing in the library ==
To enable grouping movies in sets in the GUI, so that you only have a single set item when viewing all of your movies, go to {{highlight|bordered=yes|[[Settings/Videos#Library|Settings -> Videos -> Library]]}} and select '''Group movies in sets'''.

File:Movie sets settings.png|This is the settings window where you turn on grouping of movie sets in the GUI.  Settings -> Videos -> Library -> '''"Group movies in sets"'''.
</gallery>
 
== Automatic movie sets data ==
Since version 11 "Eden", movie sets data is downloaded automatically from online scrapers when you scan movies into the library.
 
 
To prevent movies being scraped into sets, change your scraper to [[Add-on:Universal Scraper]] and change it's scraper settings to "don't scrape movie sets".
 
 
If the movie was added to the video library before the sets/collection data was added to the online scraper, then you will need to [[Updating or removing videos#Refreshing the library|refresh a given movie(s)]] to download the sets data, or manually add movies to sets using the '''[[#Movie sets management]]'''.
 
== Movie set management ==
From v13 "Gotham", Kodi has a built-in GUI editor for changing, adding, and removing movies and movie sets.
 
In the following examples we have six movies total, two are in one set (Ghostbusters), three are in a second set (Back to the Future), and one is alone (3:10 to Yuma).
 
=== Displaying sets ===
<gallery widths="500px" heights="313px">
File:Movie sets 1.png|Once scanned in using the automatic information downloaded from online scrapers we can group movies visually into sets by turning on the '''"Group movies in sets"''' option. The cover is taken from one of the existing movies, but '''[[#Adding artwork for a set|can be changed later]]''' if desired. Here we see the detail Title node where we normally see all our movies.
File:Movie sets 2.png|You can also view all the sets, even with '''"Group movies in sets"''' disabled, by going to the sets node {{highlight|bordered=yes|Video library -> Sets}}.
File:Movie sets 3.png|Here we only see movies sets themselves, so any movie not in a set will not show up in the Sets node. {{note|If a movie is in a set, but you only have one of those movies in your library, it will show up under the Sets node. However, it will not show up as a set in your other library views when '''"Group movies in sets"''' is enabled.}}
</gallery>
 
=== Editing sets from the movie set ===
There are two ways to edit a movie set. The first is to select a set from the Sets node {{highlight|bordered=yes|Video library -> Sets}} or select the set in other views when '''"Group movies in sets"''' is enabled.
 
<gallery widths="500px" heights="313px">
File:Movie sets 4.png|'''Step 1:''' Select a movie set and bring up the context menu ({{keypress|C}} or {{button|Menu}}) and select '''Manage'''...
File:Movie sets 5.png|'''Step 2:''' ...and then '''Manage movie set'''.
File:Movie sets 6.png|'''Step 3:''' This will show a list of all movies in the library and allow us to highlight or highlight what movies should be in the currently selected set. Press the OK button when you are done highlighting movies to save the changes to the set. {{note|Unselecting all movies for a set will remove that set from the library, but the individual movies will remain in the library.}}
</gallery>
 
=== Editing sets from the individual movie ===
The second way to edit a set is to select the movie anywhere in a library view where the individual movie can be selected.
 
<gallery widths="500px" heights="313px">
File:Movie sets 7.png|In this example we are starting with a movie that is not currently in a set (3:10 to Yuma). We can bring up the context menu ({{keypress|C}} or {{button|Menu}}) on the individual movie. Like before, we then select '''Manage''' and then '''Manage movie sets'''. Instead of showing us a list of movies, we now see a list of existing movie sets.
File:Movie sets 8.png|If we want to start a new set we can select '''Add movie to a new set''' which will bring up an input box for us to enter a title for that set.
File:Movie sets 9.png|In this example we have added the movie ''3:10 to Yuma'' to the ''Back to the Future'' movie set.
File:Movie sets 10.png|When a movie is already in a set and we select '''Manage''' and then '''Manage movie sets''', we now have additional options: <br />'''No set''' - remove the movie from the set it is currently in.<br />'''Keep current set''' - make no changes. {{note|If you remove each individual movie from a set it will remove that set from the library, but the individual movies will remain in the library.}}
</gallery>
 
== Manually organizing movie sets with NFO files ==
{{main|NFO files|NFO files/movies#Movie sets}}
 
Like all metadata for movies in the library, you can define sets using '''[[NFO files]]''', which can be customized by you and will take priority over online scraper data. See the above links for more info about how to edit these [[NFO files]] and the specific movie sets tags.
 
== Renaming sets ==
To rename an existing set, select the movie set in Kodi, bring up the context menu, select '''Manage''', and then select '''Edit title'''.
 
== Changing artwork for a set ==
To change the artwork used to represent your movie set, select the set in Kodi, bring up the context menu, select '''Manage''', and then select '''Choose art'''.
