Hello.

I have written a script that scan Video library and return movies (Random or recently added) that match video smartplaylist.

Release version is located in offcial repo (can't be installed through normal addon browser or is auto pulled when installed skins)

Eden ONLY

Parameters are :

Code:

type = Movie/Episode/Music       | Script will request Movie database or Episode database
                                 | (/!\ Caution : upper and lower case are important)
limit = #                        | # to limit returned results (default=10)
method = Last/Random             | Last to get last added items and Random to get random items
playlist = PathAndNameOfPlaylist | Name of the smartplaylist like special://masterprofile/playlists/video/children.xsp
                                 | or empty to request global database
                                 | If you set this parameter, you don't need to set type= because type will be read from playlist file
menu = NameOfMenu                | Name of custom or standard menu which display the widget
unwatched = True/False           | unwatched=True to filter only unwatched items
resume = True/False              | resume=True to filter only partially watched items
propertie = NameOfTheProperty    | You can overwrite the default properties names Playlist<method><type><menu> by using this parameter
                                 | example : propertie=CustomMenu1Widget1

/!\ CAUTION /!\
resume=True can slow down script when working on playlist

Script call :

Code:

XBMC.RunScript(script.RandomAndLastItems,type=Movie,limit=10,method=Random,playlist=special://masterprofile/playlists/video/children.xsp,menu=Menu1)

As you set playlist= parameter, type=Movie is no longer needed.
