Thanks for reporting.
It looks like I broke rules for parent nodes . I'll check what I can do to fix it.

edit: should be fixed in version 1.0.10 (https://github.com/xbmc/repo-plugins/pull/2670)

Hello, I think there is still something wrong... When adding the parent rule I can’t change field type nor operator. The rule is written to every child xml as “title contains” (default I guess), but it can’t be changed by GUI.

By the way, rules are not in effect when using folder type of node (path to plugin)? I am trying to get mixed inprogress media but filter out animated media but it gives me an empty list.

Thanks!    

Yeah, I missed those methods when fixing parent nodes in the last update. I just tested "title contains" and changed the value but didn't try to test other matches and operators.
Should be fixed in 1.0.11 (https://github.com/xbmc/repo-plugins/pull/2676)

Regarding your second issue (folder type of plugin) I didn't understand clearly the error. Can you provide a list of steps for me to reproduce? 

Well, I am not quite sure if my second issue is an "error", maybe it's by design. Shortly what I want:

1. Create parent node with rule "genre is not Animated"
   
2. Create node - select Path... -> select Plugin... -> select Skin Helper Service Widget -> select Mixed Media -> select Inprogress Media
   

I expected to see filtered mixed media (movies and TV shows) because parent node rule is applied, but all I get is an empty list.
Thank you

I expected to see filtered mixed media (movies and TV shows)

Can't mix movies and TV shows in the same node rule.

i tried 1.0.11 and i can move the nodes in the main music section, but in any of other nodes (folders) i just get a white pop-up when i press move node.

this is what happens in the log when i try: http://txt.do/16ad6

Please post a full debug log. Are you using the windows store version of Kodi?

Please post a full debug log. Are you using the windows store version of Kodi?

not from store (i don't use that) It's windows 10 x64, usually the latest nightly. i can reproduce this on another (backup) kodi which has 1.10 and i've tried with 1.09. i can't seem to find older versions anymore. I didn't try to change my menus since 1.06 and yesterday when i wanted to add some things and move them arround, i got this:

the debug log (some private data removed, but nothing else changed): https://tinyurl.com/sa9l84u

edit: another weird thing is that my musicrules.xml now looks like this (if i remove them, they will repopulate like this):

<rules>
    <node name="C:\Users\raych\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\library\music\audiobooks" />
    <node name="C:\Users\raych\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\library\music\curatorplaylists" />
    <node name="C:\Users\raych\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\library\music\musicvideos" />
    <node name="C:\Users\raych\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\library\music\mylibrary" />
    <node name="C:\Users\raych\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\library\music\myplaylists" />
    <node name="C:\Users\raych\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\library\music\search" />
    <node name="C:/Users/raych/AppData/Roaming/Kodi/userdata/library/music\audiobooks" />
    <node name="C:/Users/raych/AppData/Roaming/Kodi/userdata/library/music\curatorplaylists" />
    <node name="C:/Users/raych/AppData/Roaming/Kodi/userdata/library/music\musicvideos" />
    <node name="C:/Users/raych/AppData/Roaming/Kodi/userdata/library/music\mylibrary" />
    <node name="C:/Users/raych/AppData/Roaming/Kodi/userdata/library/music\myplaylists" />
    <node name="C:/Users/raych/AppData/Roaming/Kodi/userdata/library/music\search" />
</rules>

edit 2: i have also done a complete reset and started again. but it happens again. also, this looks like some kind of problem with encoding because by default, the paths are not shown as they should: https://imgur.com/RIB4UHs
i have a backup, so i'm gonna put it back. i can do all of it manually, i've learned how to while trying to get this to work. but the plugin really helps. especially for moving the folders i make 'cause i don't have to think about the node order in .xml files.

this is all happening with the latest version.

I'm trying to organize the menu to show the following categories: Movies, Cartoons and CartoonsHR. For now the menu displays only the Movies category which is the default one.

In the Settings>>Media>>Library>>Videos... I have added three folders: Movies, Cartoons and CartoonsHR (their path on the hard drives are D:\Movies, E:\Cartoons and E:\CartoonsHR). I would like to connect the source folders with nodes which should be displayed in the main (left side) menu (under the KODI name).

I figured out how to add nodes and parent nodes, but I'm pretty much stuck from there. I don't know which one should I add ("parent nodes" or just "nodes") and how to configure them to A) connect a node to the source folder and B) show the created nodes in the main menu.

I am using the latest stable Kodi build on Windows 10 with the default skin.

I'm a complete beginner at Kodi (installed it yesterday), so please provide clear and detailed instructions.

I've read several pages of the thread but the instructions are either dated (can't relate my situation to them) or don't provide enough information (how to define a source folder as the rule for the node).

Hi.

Thanks for the addon.

I'm getting an error when trying to add a rule to a parent node for a given SMB folder as path.

After some test, I found it is due to the SMB folder having a special caracter (a Spanish one), but that same caracter works fine in KODI as it is included in the translation of "movies" to "películas" in the main menu and also in my SMB library as the same path that is getting the error in the pluggin is working in my library.

It's that "í" char, it is included in extented ascii chart as character 161.

Can the pluggin be modified to include those extended chars?

If needed I can PM the log of the error.

I think it would work if the pluggin would save its XML in UTF-8 instead of ANSI.

This is the log file:

I found that I can write the special char using the keyboard to write the path and it works, but can't use the "browse for value" to get the same path.

@Oggy1985     nodes which should be displayed in the main (left side) menu (under the KODI name).
you can not just create a node and have it show there

i have made some skins to make adding menus easy

this is the default skin with no other changes

this is a standard Estuary layout with the widgets being programmable

Hi,

will I lose my new nodes and rules within them if I unistall the addon after setting up my nodes? Can I uninstall it safely after using it?

Thanks.

Since upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04, I couldn't access some of the nodes created with Library Node Editor. I'm currently using Leia with Estuary Mod V2 skins. I tested with Confluence and the Original Estuary skin with no more success.

Tried with Ubuntu's repository version of Kodi and with Kodi's ppa version.

Here is Kodi's log: yalikasiqu.kodi (paste)

[Neelix]

I made some more tests. The problems seems not to be the Library Node Editor. With original Estuary Skin and Confluence, the errors

"EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<-- - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS! Error Type: <type 'exceptions.KeyError'> Error Contents: 'ltype' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/neelix/.kodi/addons/plugin.library.node.editor/plugin.py", line 6, in <module> addon.run(sys.argv) File "/home/neelix/.kodi/addons/plugin.library.node.editor/resources/lib/addon.py", line 842, in run ltype = params['ltype'] KeyError: 'ltype''

and

"NEWADDON Unknown Video Info Key "progress""

disappears.
 Here is a new log, with Estuary skin. zepuhamuyo.kodi (paste)

Deleting all rules in the problematic nodes, the library works fine. If I tried to create a new rule the issue appears again. The issue doesn't affect all nodes, and not especially custom ones. It seems to be a bug with Kodi running under Ubuntu Focal.

[Neelix]

I find out, the not working nodes are the ones uses the title "contains" or "is" rules in my TV show nodes. When using other rules instead, like genre or path "contains", all works fine. So I will post a bug report.
