What I'm looking for
How to search for Actors in a playlist
search Genre in playlist
Recently added movies in playlist
Reason: I have a 3D Movie menu on my home screen, I'd like to be able to know how to search just using the playlist.
If you're looking for help in creating smart playlists (wiki) or custom video nodes (wiki), then this isn't the thread for it (this thread is for discussing integrating and bugs with the skin shortcuts script) - the general help and support forum would probably be the best place, though you may (or not, I'm no playlist expert) get some hints from the combining playlists section on the wiki.
If you're having difficulty setting a shortcut to a playlist you've already created or a custom video node, please say which skin you're using as the process can vary a little between skins.
I'm using the Nebula skin. The only thing I'm really looking to do is when I add "Genre" to the sub menu of my 3D movies playlist, I want to pull only 3D movies. currently when I add "Genre" to the sub menu I get a list of all movies, not just the 3D movies.
That's because Genre is a link to the same place you'd get to if you went from tge home page to Videos > Movies > Genres. It's got nothing to do with whatever you've got linked in the main menu. The script has no idea what you've got linked in the main menu, and doesn't have the ability to start creating video nodes or smart playlists based on it even if it did.
(Actually, that's not entirely true - for skins where the script manages the whole menu (which doesn't include Nebula) it knows what the main menu link is, and I have code on my test bed which can generate genre, recent, etc submenu links based on the script autogenerated Library Source links. But that's wip only, doesn't apply to Nebula, and won't make the master unless I can find a good way to expose the functionality.)
Long story short, it's up to you to create a smart playlist or video node which displays what you want. The script will link that to a submenu item for you, but that's all it does. Creating the playlists is nothing to do with the script.
