Is there any way to fix the issue mentioned on the last page where after successfully following this (great guide btw, really got me headed in the right direction) that you can make the button which you mapped the smart playlist to open into library mode rather than immediately playing the first episode of your content?
The example given looked to be altering some xml file that was specific to the backrow skin. Is this not possible to do without that skin?
**EDIT**
In the event that this information helps someone else experiencing the same issue I was having this should set you straight -
It looks like the issue was related to me adding the smart playlist to a custom button that was for "favourites", I scrolled over to the right some and found other custom buttons labeled "VPlaylist". Once I mapped my smart playlist to that it began working as intended.
I can now, from my main home menu, select my custom button "Anime" and it then takes me to a library mode of all contents exclusively located in my Anime directory. The only thing that I have noticed that is different from this over the actual TV Shows button is that I can no longer press right to see the info. I must turn on "Auto Info" and allow that information to populate on its own after waiting a couple of seconds. I can still access actual media info via pressing "I" just fine. As I stated all other features function exactly the same, only different is the ability to manually display the auto info by pressing right arrow. This to me is negligible since you can see that information by simply enabling auto info.
