I've been studying a few skins to try and learn how to extract basic movie set information for a given movie set. Looking at Estuary and @mikeSiLVO's Aeon Nox: SiLVO, I understand one method is to create a hidden container that will be populated with the contents of a set when that set is the listitem in one of your other lists.
I've made the list copying Aeon Nox's code ;D):
But it's not working as I had expected. Container(4500).NumItems works correctly, but Container(4500).TotalWatched seems to be evaluating the number of sets watched rather than the number of items within a given set and Container(4500).ListItem(0).Year is just blank
I made some labels to test:
But all I get is this: https://cl.ly/b7fe304b7177

Have I made a mistake somewhere?

<!--Hidden Set list-->
<control type="list" id="4500">
<include>HiddenControl</include>
<content sortby="year" sortorder="ascending">videodb://movies/sets/$INFO[ListItem.DBID]/</content>
</control>

I made some labels to test:
<control type="label">
<label>content path: $VAR[MovieSetsPath]</label>
<textcolor>white</textcolor>
<bottom>0</bottom>
<font>GridUnfocused</font>
