Hey guys

Does anyone know how I can hide watched items in the recently added widgets? It was really easy in MQ5 but I have not been able to find the settings in MQ6 public preview.

I have enabled this settings in Library Data Provider but it does not have any impact. Also I would to hide "All albums" in the recently added albums widget.

Thanks

I'm looking to achieve this too.

same here spent all morning looking for a method of doing this and all posted solutions are out dated or don't work

[Wanilton]

orby, the best way for solve this, is create smarplaylist, with recents first and don´t show watched item via recents widget, include smarplaylist main menu (show off in customize main menu for this item), now you have widget available for recents and don´t watch movies item for use with Movies item in main menu.



example:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>recents</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="playcount" operator="is">
        <value>0</value>
    </rule>
    <group>none</group>
    <limit>35</limit>
    <order direction="descending">dateadded</order>
</smartplaylist>

Info: MQ6 3.2.0, MarcosQui prefer use resource native kodi for show all items in library at home via recents widget, don´t use any script more for recents widget. Have many requests for don´t limit recents 12 items equal happen MQ5. Native widget now show all items in library with status watched or not on cover.

You need go to customize main menu, first empty, use replace function, in third panel, choose video playlist, select playlist. Now Rename title, turn off show in second panel. Now you have option available on flexible widget.

need to play around more as i can't get it smooth, constantly busy (around 10 - 20 seconds to populate) when switching from movie node to TV show Node

38 seconds to populate that time around

I may have had a similar problem did you limit your playlist to < 25 entries ?

What I ended up doing to prevent this lag was to create 2 playlists. One for every menu item, then a second one for each, but limited to only 50 and sorted by date added/descending. This way your menu items can load your full playlist, but the widgets only have to load 50. Previously It took a while to load my "Movies" playlist with around 2k+ non family/kids/standup/documentaries, but after I made the 2 playlists it loads smooth as butter

unexpected visitors but setting the limit sorted it out

Hello, new person.

Thanks for this, it was very useful. One small problem. I created the custom list, which works great. I created the widget, which seemed to work.

Match - Movies
Does not contain [PATH]
Sort by [DATE ADDED] - Descending

The widget isn't sorting the results. It just lists them alphabetically. The playlist does, though, when I browse into it.

Help?
