Hi there,

any possibility to assign a thumb to smart playlists?

That way it would be easy to build up an alphabetical overview of i.e. artists, that also looks nice.
So i have playlists like

"Artists with A". "Artists with B" and so on, and i'd love to see images like A, B, C etc. as a thumb instead of the standard playlist thumb.

I hope you get what i ask for.

If you use Video_nodes (wiki) instead of smart playlist you can change the icon to whatever you want.

I guess that is not valid for the music section, which is where i want to start that "feature".

The way I approached this was after I read one of the posts on the forum, and is as follows:

(1) Create a folder within playlists/music for each playlist that you have, naming the folder the name of the playlist.
(2) Move the actual playlist into the folder created in (1).
(3) Put your icon or image into the folder created in (1), naming the image folder.jpg.

Then you will have images/icons for your music playlist.

To instigate playing the playlist, just use the context menu to play the folder, or the play button if you are using a remote. This "saves" the extra step of navigating into the folder to play the playlist.

I hope this may help and makes sense.

Phew.. exactly what i want

Using the library node editor nowadays is as easy as creating smart playlists. Here a little start:






Am i able to have a fanart in this node overview?

Nice, easy and fast idea. The only thing that bothers me here is that i need 2 clicks to be able to browse the playlist, one for the folder, one for the playlist.

Editing the nodes worked way better.

It's two years later, and editing nodes doesn't seem to actually do anything for me.  Does this still work for you and have you tried on version 18?

All I want to do is create a screen of smart playlists, which appears when a main menu item is selected.
At the moment I can get a list, which is not wrapped, doesn't show the text label, and has no ability to modify the icon....

Thanks
