Solved Cannot create a smart playlist with mixed type
#1
Creating a smart playlist with Type=Mixed only creates an empty list.

What I am trying to achieve:  To create a playlist that contains both Movies and Episodes from a folder called Comedies, which has Movies in subfolder MV and Episodes in subfolder TV.

I have a folder ...\Comedy containing two folders, TV (holds Episodes) and MV (holds Movies).  I created Sources for both these folders and scanned both successfully to library.  Entering the sources shows the content scanned to library.
Creating a smart playlist with type=mixed and path starts with .../Comedy (Full path entered, of course), results in an empty playlist.

Alternative method tried: Create two smart playlists. Type = Episodes for path starts with .../Comedy/TV (Full path entered, of course), and Type = Movies for path starts with .../Comedy/Mv (Full path entered, of course), both working.  Then created smart playlist with Type = Mixed and Rules Playlist is Comedy Mv and Playlist is Comedy TV (One or more of the rules must match), again creates and empty playlist.

Mixed only supports music.

Hi @GvdNest and welcome to the forums.

Thanks for reporting the issue.
However, this not a skin issue.

As @Lunatixz write, mixed content for smart playlists is only available for music.
