Is there some changes made between Krypton and Leia about smart playlists ?
I used to have a shortcut on home menu for random movies, but since i've migrated to Leia, it doesn't work anymore.
Tried with multiple skins, and on Windows and Android TV aswell.

Here is my playlist content :

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<smartplaylist type="movies">

    <name>OneRandomMovie</name>

    <match>all</match>

    <rule field="playcount" operator="is">

        <value>0</value>

    </rule>

    <rule field="path" operator="startswith">

        <value>nfs://192.168.1.220/volume2/Mediatheque/Films</value>

    </rule>

    <limit>1</limit>

    <order direction="ascending">random</order>

</smartplaylist>

Maybe someone will know...

What bugs me is that i can open my playlist from playlists menu, and it always return a random movie as it should, but i can't launch it directly from category, as a shortcut...

And here is a log :

Check that your sources.xml paths match those in the smartplaylist....

Also try a lenient parameter like "contains" and change the path to "/Mediatheque/Films"

repulse · 2017-12-07, 19:03

Sources.xml paths are OK, it's fully working in Krypton.
Also, i've just tried to change with "contains" parameter, but still not working.

No one else encountered this behavior ?
Any workaround ?

repulse · 2017-12-15, 13:04

There is no way that i'm the only one with tha problem, come on !

Your issue is unique to your system because it's almost guaranteed to be path related.

I believe I gave you all the information needed in order to debug the issue on your end. Smile

How can it be path related as it's working on Krypton (Android and Windows 10), but not in Leia, just after update. Fresh install is the same.
Also, @Guilouz can confirm as he tested too. I first though that it was a skin issue but it's not.

My shortcut links the playlist in first post.

You have a working smart playlist.
You're trying to run the playlist content directly (rather than open the playlist to view the contewnt).
What I'm asking is how you're doing that...
How did you make the shortcut?

I'm trying to do it using skin shortcut addon, any other way ?

I don't use skin shortcuts, but it's not doing anything you can't do manually.
The first thing I would do is to find the command skin shortcuts has set. I'd imagine it's using 'PlayMedia' - maybe something like...

Quote:PlayMedia(special://profile/playlists/video/OneRandomMovie.xsp)

If you don't know what it (skin shortcuts) is trying to do you can't troubleshoot.
But if it is a skin shortcuts issue then presumably there's a help thread for that script.

Yup, it's a PlayMedia command.
I also asked on Skin Shortcut thread, but no one wants or cannot answer.

I've duplicated the issue with one of my playlists, so it looks like there is a behaviour change. You can file a bug report by using the 'bug tracker' link at the top of this page.
