I've got some classic cartoons put together for my kids, namely Looney Tunes, MGM, Disney, Popeye, Betty Boop, Droopy, Woody Woodpecker, etc, and I was wondering how best to lump them all together so they can play for my kids on Saturday mornings. I think it'd be a shuffled playlist of the 'episodes' since they're all listed under TV Shows, but the default skin doesn't seem to show me playlists very easily or readily. Which skins are more playlist friendly?

if you take the play list link this can be placed in a node and played from Categories
node friendly

if you are up for a edit of the skin
this cam be used to have a custom play list folder on any drive
xml:
<control type="radiobutton" id="101">
<label>$INFO[Skin.String(hwr1)]</label>
<include>DefaultSettingButton</include>
<selected>!Skin.HasSetting(home-row1)</selected>

I have mine set-up in nodes, mostly using the path rule, and at any given point beyond the first, there is a play all option. The Skin is Transparency! This may not be good for you, but most of these nodes can be linked as buttons on the homescreen.
