That is not the intention of how collections work. You can follow a couple of the open threads about this for more details:

At some point we will likely support "lists" or "world collections" but at this time, collections are meant to be used for sequels.

Okie dokie. To be fair, it's stuffed up how it looks on xbmc for me (and to be honest I preferred it the way it was(this particular collection)) however I do get what your trying to do, and I'm sorry if I'm coming across as being awkward. I just really don't like the wording "MCU series/collection" it just doesn't seem to have a good ring to it (if you catch my drift) cheers all the same.

I am not sure what you mean by,

they all look wrong when it shows as 'Iron man MCU series' etc on media players

The collection is a series of Iron Man movies belonging to the recent Marvel Cinematic Universe (or MCU for short) films. It doesn't get much more accurate than that.

you could have at least thought of something better than that as a folder name ie 'iron man collection'

There's a good reason why I've been using the Title (MCU series) naming convention. It is to differentiate between collections that share the same title. For example Captain America (MCU series) and Captain America (TV Films). When there are more than one collection with the same title I think it is a good idea to have a descriptive collection title because just appending the word collection tells people nothing when there's more than one set. The other films have (MCU series) appended to them for continuity and because I suspect it is only a matter of time before Iron Man and Thor have have more than one collection consisting of either an older film series or animated film series.

If the title is too long in XBMC that's not really an issue since the title will scroll, at least on the default skin.

P.S. You can always rename the set in XBMC to whatever you want.

Hey endtheme,

I am thinking we can come up with a better name than using "MCU". I quite dislike acronyms as I feel like there is often no reason for unnecessary brevity.

I have no problem with "Marvel Cinematic Universe", I just don't like "MCU" as to most people, that will mean nothing.

You're quite intimately involved with the problems we're facing with collections so what's the next best name you can think of?

P.S. locking collection parts is what I am working on at this very instant.

Thanks for that Travisbell :-)

How about either just using Marvel Cinematic Universe instead of MCU, or the year the first film in the series was released (Wikipedia tends to use this format in their film series list), like such:

• Iron Man (Marvel Cinematic Universe series), Captain America (Marvel Cinematic Universe series), etc.
• Iron Man (2008 series), Captain America (2011 series), etc.

Collection parts can now be locked by moderators.

I would go for the NAME(UNIVERSE) option, which I find warmer and more informative, instead of NAME(YEAR) which I find quite cold and mechanical. I cannot imagine having "Sherlock Holmes - The Basil Rathbone Collection" as "Sherlock Holmes (1939)", for example. Makes it meaningless. Another example: Tarzan (1932), Tarzan (1999), and other Tarzan (####). Means nothing, right? What are those collections about? Better have "Tarzan - The Johnny Weissmuller Collection", "Tarzan (Disney series)", which is more informative.
