I am having all kinds of problems with mixed playlists. I can't get them to work...at all anymore.
Here are my particulars:
I have 5 playlists that look like as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
<name>Playlist_Star Trek TNG</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="tvshow" operator="is">Star Trek: The Next Generation</rule>
<rule field="playcount" operator="lessthan">1</rule>
</smartplaylist>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
<name>Playlist_Star Trek Enterprise</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="tvshow" operator="is">Star Trek: Enterprise</rule>
<rule field="playcount" operator="lessthan">1</rule>
</smartplaylist>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
<name>Playlist_Star Trek Deep Space Nine</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="tvshow" operator="is">Star Trek: Deep Space Nine</rule>
<rule field="playcount" operator="lessthan">1</rule>
</smartplaylist>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
<name>Playlist_Star Trek</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="tvshow" operator="is">Star Trek</rule>
<rule field="playcount" operator="lessthan">1</rule>
</smartplaylist>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
<name>Playlist_Star Trek Voyager</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="tvshow" operator="is">Star Trek: Voyager</rule>
<rule field="playcount" operator="lessthan">1</rule>
</smartplaylist>
Those are the five playlists I am trying to include in the following playlist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="mixed">
<name>StarTrek_Mixed_test</name>
<match>one</match>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">Playlist_Star Trek Deep Space Nine.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">Playlist_Star Trek Enterprise.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">Playlist_Star Trek TNG.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">Playlist_Star Trek Voyager.xsp</rule>
<rule field="playlist" operator="is">Playlist_Star Trek.xsp</rule>
<limit>50</limit>
</smartplaylist>
I can not get this to work. Can you see anything that I am missing in any of these playlists? I am trying to get them to play from episode 1 thru the end of each show, with one show's episode 1, the next shows episode 1 and so on.
Thanks for any help!

I am working on getting the mapping done properly. I thought my previous update fixed this but apparently it did not. Playlists created via the XBMC smart playlist editor do not provide the complete path the playlist file. I need to add some debug code to see how the special path is being mapped.
