Looks like it does this if I use return parameter. Without it, two dots works, but you have to press it twice before the listing changes to the lower level. First press does nothing.

RE: [HOW TO] Library Node Examples - Kriven - 2020-01-14

I'm using the system.date control to indicate node visibility:

<node order="1" visible="System.Date(01-03,01-04)">

Does anybody know how Kodi handles February 29th?

Or should I just make the visibility for the last Node of February to display as:

<node order="1" visible="System.Date(02-28,03-01)">

to avoid trouble?

ideally, I would want

<node order="1" visible="System.Date(02-28,02-29)">

and then the next day's node to be:

<node order="1" visible="System.Date(02-29,03-01)">

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\library\music\LongTracks.xml

Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <node order="3" type="filter"> <label>Long Tracks</label> <match>all</match> <content>songs</content> <rule field="time" operator="greaterthan"><value>30:00</value></rule> </node>

Haven't tested it yet.

EDIT: works perfectly! Awesome, now we have a node for Live DJ sets

Not working for me, it is returning the same error

Any other working solution or someone can help me out?

Thanks in advance

This one works for me:

Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<node order="50" type="filter">

<label>Long Tracks</label>

<icon>DefaultAddonAlbumInfo.png</icon>

<content>songs</content>

<match>all</match>

<rule field="path" operator="startswith">

<value>/media/mp3/</value>

</rule>

<rule field="time" operator="greaterthan">

<value>30:00</value>

</rule>

<order direction="ascending">artist</order>

</node>

It is probably easier using a Smart Playlist and creating Custom home items (wiki)

If you want to use a node, try this...

xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<node order="3" type="filter">

	<label>Kids</label>

	<content>movies</content>

	<icon></icon>

	<order direction="ascending">sorttitle</order>

	<group>none</group>

	<rule field="mpaarating" operator="is">

		<value>u</value>

		<value>pg12</value>

		<value>12A</value>

	</rule>

</node>

If you are using Windows, you would save it here... C:\Users\Master\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\library\video\movies
And you would most likely need to create the last couple of folders.

V19 Only

Music Library

Beats per minute node.

xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<node type="filter">

    <label>High Tempo</label>

    <content>songs</content>

    <match>all</match>

    <rule field="bpm" operator="greaterthan">

        <value>129</value>

    </rule>

    <order direction="ascending">bpm</order>

    </node>

You can combine more than one rule if you wish to list songs between two bpm values, or you can use an operator of "is" to find just one value. You can also optionally add <group>albums</group> after the order to show the albums that the songs are on (useful for longs songlists or finding that album with 180 bpm 90's stuff on it). Drilling into an album will show you just the songs on that album that meet the rules.

Then you need to check the actual rating entry. My example used <value>pg12</value> but in your database it may be <value>Rated pg12</value> or something else. Check on the Information page of some of your movies and adjust accordingly.

RE: [HOW TO] Library Node Examples - YamYam - 2020-03-11

Hi there yes i figured it out i had to enter the word Rated followed by the letter

Hello, sorry I know this has been asked earlier in this thread, but it doesn't work for me.
So I have made a Concerts node, but I can't hide the Concerts in my main Movie node. From main menu
I'm on Windows 10. Using default skin Estuary running kodi 18.6 x64
Using this in file named "titles" :

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<node order="30" type="filter">
   <label>10024</label>
   <icon>DefaultMovieTitle.png</icon>
   <content>movies</content>
   <order direction="ascending">sorttitle</order>
       <rule field="path" operator="doesnotcontain">
       <value>Concerts</value>
</rule>
</node>

in location: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\library\video\movies

again sorry, I'm new to this with nodes. Otherwise I have been using Kodi for many years now. I absolutely love it. Laugh

and if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be great. Cheers !

Personally I just use Movies as the main collection of everything then I have nodes for "Latest Movies", "Top 250 IMDB", "All Movies", "All Concerts" etc. on the sub menu.

RE: [HOW TO] Library Node Examples - ZIOLele - 2020-04-13

guys is there a way to customize the episodes views ( the general one i mean) i have multiple series in different laguages, and wanted to find a way to show only the relevand episodes to the language selected:
my desiderata is to have something like this (on disk):

- tvShows
- ITA
- The Arrow
- The Flash
- ENG
- The Arrow
- The Flash

on menu:
-tv show ITA
- tv show ENG

and then selecting tv show ita , i would like to see both series, and in each series only the episodes dubbed in ita, while selecting tv show eng , i would like to see both series, and in each series only the episodes dubbed in eng

hope it makes sense

RE: [HOW TO] Library Node Examples - slahrellek - 2020-05-22

Is there a way to find movies by 2 or more actors where the actors are in the same movie?
Let me explain:
I know that there is a movie in my library named On Golden Pond (1981) with imdb-id tt0082846 and tmdb-id 11816 with actor Henry Fonda AND actor Jane Fonda.
So I would like to have a node which only shows this movie.
After searching this thread I tried:

Code:
<node type="filter">

<label>Movies where they both acted</label>

<content>movies</content>

<rule field="actor" operator="is">

<value>Henry Fonda</value>

<value>Jane Fonda</value>

</rule>

</node>

But this shows all movies of both of them.
I tried other combinations like:

Code:
<node type="filter">

<label>Movies where they both acted</label>

<content>movies</content>

<rule field="actor" operator="is">

<value>Henry Fonda</value>

</rule>

<rule field="actor" operator="is">

<value>Jane Fonda</value>

</rule>

<match>all</match>

</node>

with the same result finding all movies of both and not the 1 movie they both acted .
I think the rules are worked sequently just like an SQL OR.
Does someone have an idea how to do an AND rule.
