I noticed that a box set of 8x bluray from C. Eastwood Clint Eastwood Eight Movie Collection - ctlgs is related to just one film Coogan’s Bluff - ctlgs. Is it possible to add several movies for such box set ? Then, also when you you at the film, you can see all the possible compilations where you can find it.
Yeah, we need the feature to add more movies to one release

This should’ve been part of “homevideo”
A feature to reference several data Entities inside a container Entity has been requested for Books also.
It’s obvious that almost every one of the catalogs will need this facility and it’s conspicuous by its absence from all of them. We have had no word on whether it’s to be implemented or not.
This is live now — a release can hold several films instead of one.
On the release edit form the Film field has an Add button, the same as Credits. The two releases mentioned here are still linked to one film each, because that’s all the Filmogs import could store, so the rest need adding by hand: Clint Eastwood Eight Movie Collection and 4 Films by Virgil Widrich.
The other half of the request works too — a film page lists every release it appears in, compilations included. That part needed no new work; the lookup behind those lists already handled both cases.
One small change you’ll notice: a release with several films no longer shows a film in its breadcrumb trail. With eight films there’s no single parent to show, so it just shows the release.
@xceque — yes, this is possible for the other catalogs, and it’s the same mechanism underneath, so books isn’t a rewrite. Before I do it there I want to go back through the earlier feedback to make sure there won’t be any issues.

I added a box set (8x DVD) - Clint Eastwood Réalisateur - ctlgs. This need more time to be complete.
It is a French compilation with some DVDs with French titles as example : A Perfect World = Un Monde Parfait.
I added all the films (as masters). Question : can we add also the releases in domestic languages ? When I do a search for a release “Un Monde Parfait”, it cannot propose that compilation.
If so, we can add also the specific infos (cat. #, audio, etc…) for each DVD.
I think it would be also good to have a separation between “releases” and “compilations” when looking at a “film”.
I’m not sure the best way to represent this right now. Perhaps we could use the “Display As” function on the links to the films? (similar to Discogs ANV). Click the gear icon next to the film on the edit page.
For this we would need to have a consistent way to know which releases are “compilations”. Maybe a note in the format section? or just knowing it links to more than one film?
OK - I wrote the French names using “Display As”. When searching with that name, it is not proposed.
I also added “Compilation” on the Description field. Easy to forget. Why not have several choices on the “Description” as on Discogs :
- Compilation
- Club Edition
- Deluxe Edition
- Limited Edition
- Mispress
- Misprint
- Numbered
- Promo
- Special Edition
- Unofficial Release
