Hello !
What I have : a folder with watched movies, a folder with movies to watch.
What I'd like :
-> in Kodi, choose a movie within all movies (regardless of watched status)
-> in Kodi, choose a movie only in unwatched movies.
What I tried :
-> nfo files (made with Ember Media Manager) with the watched status. Unfortunately, Kodi doesn't seem to care about. Maybe I edited the nfo after the movie was imported in Kodi (As I know, Kodi reads once and for all the nfo, changing it after that is useless). I really need to set watched / unwatched even after importing (and outside Kodi).
-> add a custom filter. Didn't find how to do that. A useful filter to achieve that doesn't seem to exist (not in the possible filters list - I think about a path filter, see below why).
What I think it's a better idea : make a custom node.
Given that my files are already sorted between watched / unwatched on my NAS, I consider adding a node named "movies to watch" (brilliant ! )
I added a node, following the wiki's library node editor add on ("limit content by path" -> https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Library_No...nt_by_path)
After several attempts, I finally had a new category (besides "recently added"), but when I click on it, I can choose e.g genres and if I do..... all I have is all movies within this genre and not movies within the path (and genre).
All others attempts I did were unsuccessful. I mean, nothing appeared nowhere. No new node. I rebooted Kodi between attempts.
What did I miss ?
That said, if there is another way to sort watched / unwatched movies easily (outside Kodi, in bulk), I'd be glad to hear your workarounds
It's the only thing that I still have to set on my Kodi. Everything else seems great, especially the scraping when you understand how to sort and name your folders.
Thanks A LOT :-)
