I know XBMC has movies, tv shows and music videos but how do I create a new video category such as Documentary, Work out videos, foreign films?
read up on smart playlists.

Thanks Smile
If I'm trying to create a smart playlist with videos, how do I include everything that is contained in a folder? What "field" and "operator" should I use?

I am trying to make a smart playlist with just my documentaries and concerts. The documentaries contain movie files and TV episodes like Planet Earth. Do I have to first add documentaries as a source, first source containing just the movie files and second source containing the tv episodes before adding them into a smart playlist?

Can the new playlist "Documentary" be viewed on the main screen in Library Mode or do I have to go to Playlists everytime?
I have a tv shows folder and a documentary folder on my server, both added as a source.

This is my smart playlist to separate the docs from the tv shows...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
<name>Documentary</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="genre" operator="contains">Documentary</rule>
</smartplaylist>


Hope that helps.

Matt
