Hi all,

I use Kodi as my first player for movies and series.

Everytime I need to reach the last played movie I need to go to VIDEOS or to FAVORITES (the star in the left-corner-bottom) and then search for it.

Why there is not a "RECENT PLAYED" where I can go immediately and where I can RESUME the movie?

It's me that I cannot find it or there is not such folder? I am crazy everytime!!!

I used a smart_playlist (wiki) to achieve this:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>Movies - Recently Watched</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <limit>25</limit>
    <order direction="descending">lastplayed</order>
</smartplaylist>

@ zerocool_ie

.xsp missing operators/rules:

Movies still playing-

Code:

<rule field="inprogress" operator="true" /></rule>

&/or

Recent played movie/s-

Code:

<rule field="inprogress" operator="false" />
    <rule field="playcount" operator="greaterthan">
        <value>0</value></rule>

Example:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>Movies In Progress</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="inprogress" operator="true"></rule>
    <order direction="descending">lastplayed</order>
</smartplaylist>

thanks @k4sh1n, in this playlist I don't care if it's unfinished or not

I use this other one to generate the "zerocool_ie, you haven't finished these!" list!

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>Movies - In Progress</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="inprogress" operator="true" />
    <order direction="descending">lastplayed</order>
</smartplaylist>

Oh ic, no worries then, 2 sp-lists are better than 1, please disregard
Hopefully OP can mock-up/mod from the above link/examples

Open question, re- use of syntax close tags, required?

Code:

</rule>

[zerocool_ie]

just created some test playlists using the Kodi UI

Jarvis

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>testJarvis</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="title" operator="contains">
        <value>trek</value>
    </rule>
</smartplaylist>

Krypton

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>testKrypton</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="title" operator="contains">
        <value>trek</value>
    </rule>
</smartplaylist>

Both contain </rule> and work correctly.

My guess is that the closing tag is needed when a value is used, and not when an operator is used.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>OperatorTestJarvis</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="inprogress" operator="true" />
</smartplaylist>

Before to try the tricky stuff before, I will firstly try this!

Why this is not implemented by default in KODI. What is more NEEDED in a player if not the history? I really don't undestand the devs.

Sometimes we don't understand the users as well.
Play history is in v17 and you can create smartplaylist for it

The ability to play files.

For me, half the fun of Kodi is making tweaks, adding functionality tailored to my own specific use cases and reading this forum!

If I understand correctly in v17 I will have the history? Then I will wait for the stable of it. I dont need smartplaylist, I only need history. Thanks!!!
