Solved I need Help with more lists of movies
#1
Hi, everyone, please forgive my English since it is not my native language.
 - you all have seen the beauty of movies library when launching Kodi right? I mean all posters, banners, ratings and logos...etc. 
 - now I have to make my Kodi main menu to look like this " Movies (Hollywood movies) Arabic (all my Arabic movies) Kids (movies for kids) 
   I need all three lists to show the beautiful view I mentioned above (posters,ratings.logos...etc.) in every single list. please bear with me, I need to see the posters of my kids' movies only in one list, all posters     of Arabic movies in one list. and the same for Movies.
- now my question is how to do this? can I get someone to help me step by step guide?

Hi @Ihab and welcome to the forums.

Is everything scraped into your movie library?

You should look into file naming and name your files correctly to get all media flags correctly displayed: 
https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Rapier#Pro...g_of_files

You should use the The Movie Database Python scraper and set it to scrape all artwork supported by Rapier: banner, poster, fanart, clearlogo, clearart, landscape.



First off you should create 3 custom library nodes: movies, kids and Arabic.
You can use the addon library node editor for that: https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Library_Node_Editor

You can exclude your new nodes from the main movie node:
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2875587
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2717986



You can add those 3 new nodes as custom categories, add widgets for them and submenus: 
https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Rapier#Cre...m_category
https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Rapier#Add...g_submenus

Remember to go to the skin settings to enable all artwork, fanart, clearlogo, clearart etc.

Also go to Skin settings > supported addons to enable all supported addons.
Those addons will bring new features to the skin.

Oh, no. Please don't advise that. UMS is partly broken, has been for a quite a few months and there are lots of reports and complaints about it.
Just leave it using the default The Movie Database Python scraper. It can do everything UMS does except those extra rottentomato and metacritic ratings.

Thanks for clearing this up @Karellen.
I wasn't aware of that at all since I haven't used it for the last couple of months.

I'll edit my post for future reference.

@Ihab sounds great.
So everything is solved?

Sorry if asking after marking it as (solved) 

how to make another list for only movies sets ( a list contain only movies sets , extracted from my entire movies collection)? 
Note:    the way i am making list is making folders for every list i want, just like this ( Folders named like these " Movies, Arabic , Disney, Adult , documentary...etc" then i make a smart list as the following : path - start with - then i browse for the folder. 
if i do the same for movies sets. then i have to make another copy in another folder, which i do not want for two reasons, 1. i still want the movies to be shown in all movies, 2. i do not want to use another 1TB of SSD.
thanks in advance and please forgive my English for it is not my native language.
