			= Introduction =

			<section begin=intro />This feature allows you to link a Move to a TV Show without the need of keeping two copies of the video file on your system. eg, linking ''Serenity (2005)'' to the tv show ''Firefly''.<section end=intro />

			'''The same movie can be linked to multiple TV Shows and multiple movies can be linked to the one TV Show.'''



			= Creating Links =
			The following methods are available for creating the Movie link to the TV Show.



			== {{kodi}} Link Editor ==
			The Editor cannot be accessed from Videos>Files. It must be accessed from the Movie Library. Movies must have already been scraped into the library.

			#''Image 1''- Highlight the movie to be linked to a TV Show. Call up the Context Menu
			#''Image 1''- Select '''''Manage...'''''
			#''Image 2''- Select '''''Link to TV show'''''
			#''Image 3''- From the list, select which TV Show to link to. Multiple selections can be made.


			<gallery widths=450px heights=250px>
			File:MovieSets02.jpg\|Image 1- Call up the Context Menu and select ''Manage...''
			File:MovieSets03.jpg\|Image 2- Select ''Link to TV show''
			File:MovieSets04.jpg\|Image 3- Select the TV Show from the list
			</gallery>



			== nfo Files ==
			Using nfo files allows you to link Movies and TV Shows and then scrape into the library.

			The following XML tag is '''used in the Movie NFO''' to link to a TV Show:
			*''<showlink></showlink>''- The name of the TV Show and must be identical to the TV Show name. Multiple tags can be used to link multiple TV Shows

			The code is entered into the movie nfo file as follows.

			<movie>
			<showlink></showlink>
			</movie>

			:'''''See: [[NFO_files\|NFO Files]]



			= Sorting =
			As this is simply a link it is not possible to insert the Movie into a particular viewing order, as is done with the Specials of a TV Show.

			The actual placement of the movie in the TV Show listing will depend upon the ''Sort Type'' and ''Sort Order'' chosen for the view.

			If you require the ability to sort into correct viewing order, then consider using a '''''[[Internet_video_and_audio_streams\|Stream File]]'''''.



			= Removing Links =
			To remove the Link, you can use either of these two methods...



			== {{kodi}} Link Editor ==
			The following guide and images should assist in locating and using the Editor.

			The Editor cannot be accessed from Videos>Files. It must be accessed from the Movie Library. Movies must have already been scraped into the library.

			#''Image 1''- Highlight the movie to be unlinked from a TV Show. Call up the Context Menu
			#''Image 1''- Select '''''Manage...'''''
			#''Image 2''- Select '''''Remove Link to TV show''''' (only visible when a link exists)
			#''Image 3''- From the list, de-select the TV Show(s). Multiple selections can be made.


			<gallery widths=450px heights=250px>
			File:MovieSets02.jpg\|Image 1- Call up the Context Menu and select ''Manage...''
			File:MovieTVShowLink01.jpg\|Image 2- Select ''Remove Link to TV show''
			File:MovieSets04.jpg\|Image 3- De-select the TV Show(s) from the list
			</gallery>



			== nfo Files ==
			Remove the ''<showlink></showlink>'' XML tag from the NFO File and '''Refresh''' the movie.

			<movie>
			<showlink></showlink>
			</movie>
