Movie Collections

Power Scraper Pro automatically detects and groups movies into collections (franchises) like Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, or Harry Potter.

​
How Collections Work

When you scrape a movie that belongs to a collection, Power Scraper Pro:
  1. Detects the collection from TMDB metadata
  2. Creates a collection entry in your library
  3. Shows which movies you own vs. which are missing
  4. Downloads collection-specific artwork

​
Viewing Collections

​
Collections Tab

  1. Click Collections in the sidebar
  2. Browse your collections as cards or list
  3. Click a collection to see details

​
Collection Details

Each collection shows:
  • Collection poster and backdrop
  • Total movies in the collection
  • Movies you own (with checkmarks)
  • Movies you’re missing
  • Completion percentage

​
Collection Artwork

Collections have their own artwork, separate from individual movie artwork:
  • Collection Poster — Represents the entire franchise
  • Collection Fanart — Backdrop for the collection
This artwork is stored in your configured collection artwork folder.

​
Setting Collection Artwork Folder

  1. Go to Settings → Scraper
  2. Set Collection Artwork Folder
  3. Artwork is saved as: 
    Collections/
├── Marvel Cinematic Universe/
│   ├── poster.jpg
│   └── fanart.jpg
└── Star Wars Collection/
    ├── poster.jpg
    └── fanart.jpg

​
Multi-Collection Movies

Some movies belong to multiple collections. For example, a Marvel movie might be in:
  • Marvel Cinematic Universe
  • Individual hero collection (Iron Man Collection)
Power Scraper Pro handles this automatically, showing the movie in all relevant collections.

​
NFO Collection Tags

When you scrape movies, the NFO file includes collection information: 
<set>
  <name>Marvel Cinematic Universe</name>
  <overview>The Marvel Cinematic Universe is...</overview>
</set>
Kodi reads this automatically to group movies in its interface.

​
Finding Missing Movies

Want to complete a collection? Power Scraper Pro shows you what you’re missing:
  1. Open a collection
  2. Look at the Missing section
  3. See movie titles, release years, and posters
  4. Use this as a shopping list for your collection
The Upcoming Releases feature also tracks unreleased movies in collections you own, so you know when new entries are coming.
