Browse playlist instead of instant playing - MrWolf - 2010-11-07
I've installed the new version of Transparency (haven't updated for over a year, since the 9.11 version of XBMC), and I love it. I also love the addon-system of the Dharma-version!
I'm looking for a solution for the following issue. I think there are several ways to a solution, but I don't know how to get there
On my NAS I have three folders with movies, 'movies for me', 'movies for gf', 'movies for us both'. All movies are loaded into the library, but I want to be able to browse them seperate from each other. When I browse for a movie, I don't wanna be bothered with chick flicks and vice versa.
I have created 3 smart playlists which each contain the movies in the folders I mentioned. This works fine. Now I want to access these playlists from the main menu of Transparency, and here lies the problem...
When I add a smart playlist, it automatically plays the first movie on the list, instead of browsing the contents of the playlist. I can see in the menusettings of Transparency that the action is 'PlayMedia'.
There's a workaround, first going to favourites, and then access the playlist (I added the playlists to the favourites), but it's not the nicest solution
Basically, what I want to know is this: is there a way in Transparency to access a playlist from the main menu and browse it contents instead of automatically playing the items on it? Is there a file I can edit, or anything else? And can I change the order of the menu items also?

the next version will have an option to select 'play' or 'browse' for playlists.
for the time being, you can edit custom_DialogFavourites.xml
and change: RunScript(script.favourites,playlists=play)
to: RunScript(script.favourites,playlists=window)
after making this change, you need to re-add your playlists to the menu.

this has to be hardcoded in the skin, so there's no way i can make it user-configurable.
the menu is defined in Includes_Home.xml, you can swap the menu entries around there if you want.
search the file for <control type="list" id="5040">, then scroll down till you get to the <content> section.
the way the items are listed in the file, is the way they appear on the menu.

you can disable this option:
Settings > Appearance > File Lists > Show parent folder items
