Just watched your video. What happened to these nice new icons we made for you?


@mathu204, Following on from this helpful video, you can access playlists through Bingie by going to your library and then bring up the library context menu (left off widget focus if using bingie views) and select this option:


There, you will find the edit playlist option.   Tags aren't actually necessary in a lot of cases. Anything you see in skin playlists can just be recreated with this option, of course with your own set of rules. 

I've got a playlist with rules that will just show my favourite directors for example, another for only displaying titles with specific actors. And then you can even combine these playlists to make a new playlist with all the rules from both. It's really simple when you know how.

You also have the option of doing it through a text editor using XML which must be a lot quicker once you're comfortable with the format of a smart playlist file. I'm going to do this myself soon I think.

So you see in the search hub how theres multiple lists under the keyboards? How can I add my own smart playlists there if its possible? 

And is it also possible to download someone elses smart playlists and tags? Like obviously it wouldnt fill my library with the content from it, but all the parameters and tags like with the search playlists, if i have content that meets the set parameters,tags or whatever it would show up.

Im going to make my own smart playlists too though I made a test playlist pertaining to Chadwick Boseman and it worked.

Also @AchillesPunks I have an HDMI but i dont use it, plus i just reinstalled windows on this laptop and havent used the hdmi since, i use it for my drawing tablet before reinstalling windows but not to a TV. But its fine its not breaking the skin for me so its okay

and @HugoL how can i access the new icons? Can you tell me the folder location?

Without editing the xmls, there’s no way to provide more search terms there.

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
