Hi,

I want to add a menu item in the main menu.
Uner Movie i want i new menu item xmas with his own library.
Is there a way to do it without programmering/editing xml files? 
Because i don't understand it.

Kind Regards,
Bianca
Bianca, it is possible.
Is the source of these Christmas movies isolated. ie. Are Christmas movies in a folder by themselves. If not how can you identify them separately from the other movies?

Yes the movies are in a seperate folder.

oke thanks for the tiip i will try that. But then if a want to add a new item them i'm stuck ?
the tip to use favourites works. However some of the movies doesn't have plot as santa nor christmas. How can i add a extra genre type to a movie?
add a extra genre type to a movie?
add rule
title

browse for value

add rule
click on title pick path
add <no value> eg.(D:\TELEVISION)
<no value>    drive letter seperate folder
i think you understand me wrong. Because one of the movies has movie information komedie/romance. I want to add christmas to the movie info.
If you have them in a separate folder eg "Christmas Movies".
Follow the other guy instructions but use the rule "path contains Christmas Movies". 
That should do the trick.
You can create a playlist or a Video Node and use it with you favorite skin (if it supports it.)

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
LongMan
