Recently Added Custom Playlist method?
#1
I searched but i can't find any answer for this

So assuming i made Smart Playlist Anime.xsp which lists all movies from G:\ path
This will be used for home panels such as the one found in Ace skin
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9f9Hk9...sp=sharing

How do i call and sort it based on recently added date other than using randomandlastitem script?

So when user focuses on "Animasi" or Anime on the main menu, the right panel will show 12 recently added anime movies from G:\ path

I've tried using randomandlastitem script but it's too slow because i have a huge library...

I've looked into skinshortcut script and tried the skins that uses it, but it doesn't seem to have the ability to call playlist AND sort it based on date added.. or am i missing something here?

Thanks

You need to make the playlist do the sorting.

eg

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>Recently Added Movies</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="dateadded" operator="after">
        <value>2000-01-01</value>
    </rule>
    <rule field="playcount" operator="lessthan">
        <value>1</value>
    </rule>
    <limit>25</limit>
    <order direction="descending">dateadded</order>
</smartplaylist>

Ah i see, must've missed that in wiki so its date added...
But it only works for movies not episodes? is it a typo in wiki?
Also... have you ever compared the speed for both skinshortcut vs randomandlastitem?
which one is faster for huge library?
If skinshortcut is slower then im not gonna bother implementing it..

Edit : Looks like it works on tvshows, but not episodes, Episodes will work on Isengard if i'm not mistaken
