HI
I m pretty new to the xbmc, so I m sorry if this is a question asked and answered many times before. I have searched, but.....?
Still getting hang of xbmc menu and adding movies have made me puzzled on: "why make it so difficult"!
I use ACE as my new skin. Used Aon MQ4 before that. It is fast and pretty. Just what I wanted. Still I want to add elements to my main menu so I kan differentiate between Kids, Sci-fi, Action, Drama, Fantasy and so on. Ace gives me an easy option to add more menu elements (still why no more than 5 extra), but to sort the movies I have to add a tag to it to connect it to a playlist that I can attach to a menu-element. It works, but it is a pain in my ass going through nearly 2000 movies like this. I m in a process of ripping more than 1000 DVD right now.
In the original Movie menu element I could just add a folder. I have split my movies into the genre I want, by seperating them into different folders. To use the scraper to define the movie don't work. A kid movie could be tagged as sci-fi, drama, action, kids and so on, when I just want it as a kids movie.
When I add a new menu element, name it sci-fi (or what ever), why can't I just add a folder to this menu? I cant understand that this would be hard to code as this option is for the original movie menu elemet. This would be the easiest and most simple way to control my movies. There must be others that misses this to
It could be an option for this that I haven't seen. If not...Why not?
And why can't the menu be more flexible. Why can't I just add as many menu elements that I like.....
Still don't get me wrong. I am realy impressed with xbmc and ACE, but still......why so hard for the user??
