its great my friend thanks Ill keep looking into, and educating myself on it .

My next question to all you guys is how do you guys make your library like theres so much f-in stuff to choose from. 

Im actually just starting a Trakt LIst called Disney Plus complete catalogue for movies and tv seperately and im gonna add everything one by one over time lol. Wont do it in one day but whenever i have free time and im streaming ill probably do it.

I just use my trakt app on my phone. Anything I see that’s interesting, I just click “add to my collection” and then just let Trakt and Kodi do their thing. And like magic, it appears on TV with nice artwork and meta scraped! (not really but close enough!)

Thanks for checking, glad it's not just me!

Yes, it’s possible to use someone’s playlist. Essentially, this is what you’re doing with the skin playlists. They’re just in a different folder to the ones you create.

The new icons are set by default. If you’ve changed them, currently the only way to get them back is by restoring the menu to default I believe.

Going to see about including them in another folder so you can access them in the normal icon folder too.

Can you give an example of editing the xml to add my own smart playlist? Generally i would be able to follow with one example and just apply it to myself, please and thank you

OK , the demo video just posted above was not clear , When you create a playlist using estuary skin , it should not allow you to do things manual like in a video where he said pick the movie one by one referral to your title selected  , but instead , Playlist creation using TAGS works like Auto Selection from your library data base , let say you chooses TAG  " Alien Invasion " then It will instantly recognize  Auto select all Movies of Alien Invasion from your KODI LIBRARY SOURCE ( if any) .

So the Question is from where we can get these thousand of  TAGS ? remember its not in playlist creation .

I created all my Tags myself made easier buy creating lists in Trakt for each specific show I wanted in that widget then scanned that Trakt list into my library and copied it by setting my laptop on my lap with that list and making each individual tag selecting show by show or movie by movie. I learned tags before I learned playlists so I'm not sure they are even necessary but I have them so I use them. If you find a giant list of downloadable tags somewhere Im interested to try them out as well it would definitely make making playlists easier.

In my opinion it's not recommended to create each movie list by picking manually even in Trakt whearas you want them in library as well , IMDB have search engine to create it for you every genre or plot or word on AUTO basis in Kodi . I gave an example let say you want playlist of plot " split personality" you have a library data base and you don't know how many movies have this kind of plot, so when you create playlist in kodi using that word , kodi will instantly collect those movies from your source.

I agree the way I did it was not ideal but not all the shows I wanted in each widget were showing up with other methods. For example I wanted to have a Netflix original tv shows widget using networks and picking Netflix only shows about half of the Netflix shows. That's just me being picky tho you can make tons of widgets with easier methods.

These are some Tags screen shots while creating playlists ,Total of 11171 Items , We can add Multiple Genre Combos (Double or Triplet )
