Full Version: help for makeing genre, latest movie shortcut use smart playlist
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello, the widget at the top with genre, year and list by recentlyadded for example seems very hard to modify if you want it based on a smart playlist.
This was doable on the first estuary edition, any tips on how I can change those shortcuts?

best regards
marantz
for example
<code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<node order="10" type="folder" visible="Library.HasContent(Movies)">
<label>20386</label>
<icon>DefaultRecentlyAddedMovies.png</icon>
<path>videodb://recentlyaddedmovies/</path>
</node>
</code>

how can I make that use a smart playlist?
There are two things you can do. firstly, turn your smartplaylist into a video node because video nodes and smartplaylist use the same rules. secondly, youi can do as you want and link a video node to your already made by:

Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<node order="1" type="filter">
    <label>name of node</label>
    <content>movies</content>
    <icon>the icon you want to show up</icon>
    <rule field="playlist" operator="is">
        <value>name of playlist</value>
    </rule>
</node>
