Hi, real noob with xbmc/kodi.

I wanted to modify/create an audio XML file so that it lists my music by either mp3 or FLAC, and then by artist, album etc. . . .
So I'd like my hierarchy to look something like
MP3 ->Artist
->Album
->Song
->etc

and then,
FLAC ->Artist
->Album
->Song
->etc

I have added two sources nfs://192.168.0.31/multimedia/MP3 as well as nfs://192.168.0.31/multimedia/FLAC.

• Can I filter by file extension? What would the syntax look like?
  
• Can I filter by Location and use actual path. What would the syntax look like?
  
• Will I need to re import/scan my music library after I make this change
  

Thanks in advance for the help

1) yes. use the wizard to create a smart playlist, then copy the code from that.
2) yes. use the wizard
3) no. it's a filter operating on (existing) data.

Or use the Library Node Editor add-on see http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=224512

You can filter by path or by extension only with songs, not with albums or artists so right now you can't do what he wants..

Thanks for the replies everyone

I am still a little stumped by how to reference my library location for the smart playlist. Is it simply enough to reference nfs://192.168.0.31/multimedia/FLAC or do I need to use a specific syntax?

Right now I cannot filter on file extension either manually or with the Library Node Editor add-on.

Is there a listing of reference variables like there is for Twonky?
