Do you have any movies in the folder "E:\musicvideo\" and are any of them in the movie library?

Of course, I have movies in this folder E:\musicvideo\. Because my HTPC is not connected to internet, I don't setup any library. Is my understanding on the movie library correct?

If you have nothing in the library, then ofcourse it won't find the movies. It needs the library in order to do anything.

If information isn't local (nfo files) then yes, you need an internet connection to get metadata so that things can go into the library.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to start a new thread for this, but I have the same issue.
I have created a Smart Playlist for 'Recently watched Videos'. Here it is:
Note: I used the GUI to create it. My skin is Aeon Nox :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
<name>Recently Played Videos</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="lastplayed" operator="inthelast">2 weeks</rule>
<limit>50</limit>
<order direction="descending">lastplayed</order>
</smartplaylist>
This is similar to the 'recent songs' example in the 'Smartplaylist' wiki.
When I select the 'Recently played Videos' play list, I get a blank list.
I even played a few short videos to test it, but the list is still blank.
I checked the xbmc.log, & noticed these 2 lines:
17:20:50 T:5136 WARNING: XFILE::CFactoryDirectory::Create - Unsupported protocol(newsmartplaylist) in newsmartplaylist://
17:20:50 T:5136 WARNING: XFILE::CFileFactory::CreateLoader - Unsupported protocol(newsmartplaylist) in newsmartplaylist://movie.tbn/
Do they mean anything ?
Is there any other info I need to add to the code to make it work ?
Thanks !
