Hey guys,

i was wondering if it is possible to create a playlist with my favorites?
I know i can create a menu item with them, but i really dislike the view (Small list , Big list or icons).
I would like to have the favorites menu with all the custom views like Wall etc., so i can create my own "must see" movie section.

Any help would be appreciated!

Good idea actually.

Only way I can think of is creating a smart playlist.

Yeah i tried to create one, but no option for favorites in the criteria.
Or did i miss something perhaps?

Just stick them in a folder called favorites?

I have one for 3D films

Or make a tag and then use the smart playlist to select that tag.

Thought about that, but i just want to add a favorite and delete it when i have seen the movie.
I don't want to delete them every time from the folder, but rather within xbmc

I was looking into that, but i really don't understand to make a tag.
Is there a tutorial somewhere?

Hi,

i have a smart playlist called watchlist with all my movies i want to see.

I use this nice addon to tag my movies while scrolling through my library http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...agoverview

In my keyboard.xml i use a button to call "RunScript(script.tagoverview)"

This is very handy. If you wanted to make the script a little more integrated, rather than pushing some arbitrary button, you could add a button to the context menu(DialogContextMenu).

PHP Code:

<control type="button" id="2098">
                <width>462</width>
                <height>58</height>
                <textoffsety>12</textoffsety>
                <align>center</align>
                <texturefocus>dialogs/context_highlight.png</texturefocus>
                <texturenofocus>dialogs/context_nofocus.png</texturenofocus>
                <label>Add Tag</label>
                <font>Font_Reg30_2</font>
                <textcolor>context</textcolor>
                <focusedcolor>white2</focusedcolor>
                <colordiffuse>$VAR[SpotColorVar2]</colordiffuse>
                <visible>System.HasAddon(script.tagoverview)</visible>
                <onclick>RunScript(script.tagoverview)</onclick>
            </control> 


The script works quite well

1) Videos -> Movies -> Tags. Make a tag and then add movies to it. After that, the tag can be included in a smart playlist as a source.
2) Use the script that Eisi just referenced. You can create/remove tags and add/remove movies to them. After that, the tag can be included in a smart playlist as a source.

Thnx mate, but one question though:

i tried to add the php code to the Dialogcontectmenu.xml, but where should i insert the code?
Because if i place it random, the "Add Tag" button is on the same spot as " play trailer". When i click on it, xbmc freezes.
If i place it at the bottom, the whole contact menu isn't showing up when pressing the C button.

Thnx! Great solution!

I put it right after the control for id=2017. For me, it was line 158...might be a little different for you. Also, I am using aeon nox 4.1.9, so I'm not sure how it differs from 4.0.9

[hernandito]

This sounds really intriguing.... Vaikin... how/where is DialogContextMenu accessed from within the XBMC interface?

Its not the same as hitting the down arrow twice when on the home page?

Thanks,

H.

EDIT

Answer my own question.... It is the equivalent of hitting C on the keyboard to bring up the Context Menu. Four years of using XBMC and had never pulled the Context Menu when browsing my library....!

@Vaikin

thanks for the context menu code i will give it a try

Using 4.1.9 as well, gonna try it tonight when back home from work.
I will post my result, thnx!

[AeronNL]

Couldn't wait any longer and tried it quickly before going to work, and it works!
Thnx Vaikin and Eisi2005!
