Easiest way to Search/Filter? Add-On?
#1
A request from my wife:

"Is there an easier way to get to a movie I roughly know the title of? I hate having to scroll forever to find it."


Yes Honey, I know. Now quit your bitchin' and go make me a pie. (Valentines day was yesterday) Smile jk

So Whats the best way to do this? I do use a keyboard with a touchpad on it and an Android phone. Movie library is large. I know there are ways to search but its far from clean and easy...let alone without a keyboard.

How does everyone else do this? Is it easy on the spouse?

I'd like to be able to bring up a small search panel and as I type in it, it filters out everything that doesn't meet my needs automatically.

The Global Search add-on

Settings -> Add-ons -> Get add-ons -> XBMC.org -> Programs

The filter button (on the left) filters any current list to just show what matches - it uses only title though. If it's an edit control (it depends on the skin) then it does it in realtime.

In addition there's jumping through the list (SHIFT-A etc.)

There's also jumping through letters available (not sure if it's keymapped by default).

Lots of options...

Cheers,
Jonathan
