Hi,

Great addon, but I've got difficulties with icons.

Does someone succeeded to define an icon for a parent node ?
For the parent node, it seems there is no way to define it with kodi, you have to modify the index.xml file in the folder corresponding to the node. You will find it in the userdata/library/<your type>/<your parent node> folder.

Thanks

Hi

I have created some nodes and it works great, but I want to know if it is possible combine in a node the 'recently movied added' and another rule with 'path contains'.

The objective is create a node with the recently movies added in a certain folder, not the whole library.

Thanks a lot.

If you can create it in a Smart Playlist, you should be able to also create the node.
Copying the code from the smart playlist to the node file usually works.

While evaluating custom sub menu support for my skin i have the same seemingly known issues with the "Move Node" function (Using clean installs, different Kodi generations tested, Windows):

- Selecting "Move Node" within the Movies section leads to an completely empty dialog

- Selecting "Move Node" within video library root leads to an populated dialog, but it's missing the "OK" button (only "Cancel" is available)


Never worked with the Add-on before and since i don't need custom sub menus for myself any help from a more experienced "Node Editor" user would be appreciated to get things rolling.

Thanks for any hints

Update:

Invested some hours and did not have any luck with this Add-on on Windows (tested official Kodi 17-22 - it's broken for me on all generations in ways already described)

Made some (for me rare) Android tests - it seems to work on Android as already mentioned, but that does not help in the end. ^^

Since somebody mentioned that the Windows-version might be fixable when changing something about the libarary xml files, i also made a test and copied all the "working" library files from my Android test to Windows - and the Add-on still does not work on Windows with these copied files.

A real bummer, since the Add-on seems so highly useful if it would work.

Edit:
Just to be sure, the main issue on Windows seems that the "Move Node" dialog is always empty when used on NON-root level - for example:
Video Library > Movies > right-click "Recently added" > Move Node == empty select dialog

I think the fix you are looking for is in post #250.

I never really used Library Node editor until recently, somehow the addon stopped working on my android device (Kodi 21.1), when I open it the loading icon/swirl will just spin indefinitely.

Already re-installed it, any idea what might be causing this?
Although I never messed with it previously on this device it used to open without issues.

I have several Kodi clients all official/final build all using the same database, only the android version stopped running the addon

Hello. I try to make a rule that filter my video library by Video resolution type.  The expected value should be something like : 4K or 3840 x 2160.
But when I try to enter a value, it's a numeric pad that is displayed.

The videorules.xml files confirms :
<match name="videoresolution">
            <label>21443</label>
            <movies>True</movies>
            <episodes>True</episodes>
            <musicvideos>True</musicvideos>
            <operator>numeric</operator>

Is it a bug? Is there a table that index the different resolution with a numeric value?
If it's a bug, can I replace numeric by String or "IsorNot" ?

Thanks you for your help.

Hello. I try to make a rule that filter my video library by Video resolution type. 

Maybe you can try this. Copy the following into your own xml file on your system.
Just adjust the <icon> path to the location of your own icon.
I have used a video height of "greater than 1100", but you can adjust that to whatever you need.

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

<node order="1" type="filter">

	<label>4K</label>

	<content>movies</content>

	<icon>C:\Users\HTPC\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\library\video\movies\mpaaratings\4k.png</icon>

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

	<group>none</group>

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

        <value>1100</value>

    </rule>

</node>

Hello 

i installed this add-on with the intention of having 2 independent of each other Movie parent nodes.
In short i like to keep my US movies in the original movies/title Node in kodi and then have my foreign Movies in the other Node.
Im using the skin aeon nox silvo so i have cases of my movies in each node.
I dont want the cases from my foreign movie node to appear in the US movie node and vise versa.

Im quite new t this so if someone like to help me i would appreciate it.

[Karellen]

Im using the skin aeon nox silvo so i have cases of my movies in each node.

Might be easier to create a Smart Playlist for your Foreign and US movie listing.
How are you separating the two listings? Are you using Tags, or are they in separate Sources or some other method?

I would like to avoid smart playlist cause then i need 3 folders.
The movies are separated by folders on my HD ex D:/US Movies and E:/Foreign Movies

[Karellen]

cause then i need 3 folders.

What is the third folder?

The movies are separated by folders on my HD ex D:/US Movies and E:/Foreign Movies

Ok, so in the smart playlist, you would create a rule using Path and Contains
Once you get that working, you can either use the smart playlists for your menu items, or you can copy the code from the playlist xsp file into the node xml file.

I tried smart playlist but then the foreign movies end up in the main US movies folderas well. i dont want that. So if i use smart play list i need 1 folder for all movies then split it up

Where do i find the node and play list xmls?
