Description

While i appreciate the functionality, there's just no apparent way to stop some 170 movie sets, in my instance, from automatically appearing when scraping a batch of movies.

And to my knowledge, Kodi doesn't feature any kind of 'bulk delete movie sets'-function.

I would really like not having to manually run through over 900 movies, to then individually remove them from movie sets not having been made by me. I would much rather prefer to make them myself, as i see fit.

Is it possible to add a simple option or setting to the scraper, to determine if it should automatically make movie sets when scraping or not?

Research direction

Start by locating the scraper settings and the code path that creates movie sets; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Confirm how batch scraping currently handles sets, then verify that a setting can prevent automatic creation while leaving other scraping behavior unchanged.
