I'm new to XBMC. I've been using Boxee software on a Windows 7 machine for a long time before I tried XBMC. I was so happy to find Xeebo. I didn't feel like a noob as much anymore.

But I'm having trouble getting a smart playlist to do what I want. I set it up as a movie playlist with only the westerns genre. I set it to random. Looking at the list it contains only westerns. They are alphabetized by title. When I right click on the playlist and choose Play, it plays them in the alphabetized order, not random. I just want it to play a random movie until I stop it.

What silly thing am I doing wrong?

Make sure the sort order (in the UI, not the playlist) is set to "Playlist". It normally does that by default.

Thanks for the reply.

Since I am a noob, I do not know where to find that setting. I have been through all the settings and I do not find a sort order. I am using the Xeebo skin with 10.1.

Its not a bad idea to learn how to navigate xbmc with the default skin then it makes it easier to find stuff in other skins plus its easier to help you

In any case in Xeebo when in the playlist press right arrow this will bring out a menu, the second menu item from the top will toggle through the sort order its probably set at the default which is "Name"

Thanks. That did the trick.

I don't know how I missed it before. I've been all over that menu.

I'm really starting to love this program.

If your not familiar with XBMC then its easy to miss in Xeebo as there's no description just an icon
