- enter node editor (options panel on the left)
- new node, give it a name ("Compositori" for me; I live in Italy)
- still in the editor click the new node
- add path (add content doesn't work, because it doesn't offer neither roles nor composers): musicdb://artists/?role=Composer
I found the path clicking (in the editor) Roles -> Composers
It works!
UPDATE:
Since the node editor currently does not work ( ? A problem of the alpha version ? ) , I opened the xml file and I found that thus the purpose of having e.g. composers on the first level may be reached in an even better way :
- Open the file .kodi / userdata / library / music / musicroles / Composers.xml
< ? Xml version = ' 1.0 ' encoding = ' UTF - 8 ' ? >
<Node order = " 1 " type = "folder" visible = " Library.HasContent (Role , Composer ) " >
<Label > Composers < / label>
<Icon > DefaultMusicGenres.png < / icon >
< Path> musicdb : // artists / ? Role = Composer < / path>
< / Node >
- Delete the "visible " in the second line that the file looks like this
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<node order="1" type="folder">
<label>Compositori</label>
<icon>DefaultMusicGenres.png</icon>
<path>musicdb://artists/?role=Composer</path>
</node>
- Save it on the first level .kodi / userdata / library / music / Composers.xml
Done!
The node editor works! Examining the list of add-ons I simply found it disabled - a wrong click or one of the numerous updates. (It's the first time that I try an alpha version, and it is quite interesting. My "real" media centre is a raspberry pi with Kodi 16.1.)
