Hi,

I would like to create sub-menu with 10 unwatched random movies.
Is it possible ?

Great Job

@SolidGoti, yes, this is possible.  All that you need to do is create a playlist that has 10 random unwatched movies, and add that playlist as a submenu item.  Here is the code for the playlist:

xml:


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

<smartplaylist type="movies">

    <name>10 Random Unwatched</name>

    <match>all</match>

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

        <value>0</value>

    </rule>

    <limit>10</limit>

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

</smartplaylist>

You can copy that, paste it into a file and name that however you want, with the extension xsp.  You can place this in your <userdata>\playlists\video folder. 

Or, you can just create the playlist in Kodi (Videos, Playlists, New Smart Playlist).  Just select for a rule that Playcount is 0, limit to 10 items and order by Random.

After you have the playlist, the way you add it as a submenu item is:

1. Go to Settings, Amber Settings, Customize Home Menu and Shelves



2. Then go to the menu item where you want your submenu.  In the screenshot below, I went to Movies:



3. Then go (on the right side of the screen) to Customize Submenu:



4. And then go up to the button bar, and choose the + sign to add a submenu item:



5.  Then, select Choose Item for Menu:



6.  Then, go to Video Library:



7. Then go to Playlist:



8. Then select the playlist you created before (in my case, I named it 10 Random Unwatched):




9. Select what you want to happen when you click on the new submenu item, to either play the playlist (the movies will start playing) or display the playlist.  In the example below, I chose to Display the playlist:



10.  Then, you can either change the label of the new submenu item to whatever you want, or you can leave as is, and then you can go back to the main menu (by using Back or Esc).  Once in the main menu, Amber will rebuild the menu to add the new submenu item.

11.  The end result is having the new submenu item under the menu item you chose.  You can see it here under the Movies menu item, which is what I chose:


12.  And when I select it, the playlist is displayed:




Please let me know if this is what you were looking for.  Thanks.
