Hello All,
I have a fair size (1000+) movie library that takes ages to load (especially on the weak-er devices such as ATV2)
And I'm looking for ways to reduce amount of movie entries loaded when browsing the movie library
I would like to modify a skin so that once an option (ex: "Movies") is selected, it first presents buttons from A to Z
with each button only listing movies, videos (or music ) that starts with that letter.
ex: pressing "B" would list:
- A Beautiful Mind
- A Dogs Breakfast
- Adjustment Bureau
etc...
Ideally this would be accomplished in a skin by coding a button with :
"xbmc.ActivateWindow(Videos,<some SQL like query>)"
but that would be too easy wouldn't it
Anyone has any ideas on how to accomplish this without setting up a smart playlist for every single letter for every single media type ?
Thanks a lot.
