I need to filter by external source, my movies placed in different HDD. Is there a way to make it by Library node? Thanx

RE: [HOW TO] Library Node Examples - bowlofred - 2017-10-25

Was trying to create a tag movie node and I have some problems. Should this work?

Code:
$ cat video/movies/kids.xml

 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

 <node order="2" type="filter">

        <label>Kids</label>

        <icon>DefaultMovieTitle.png</icon>

        <content>movies</content>

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

        <rule field="tag" operator="contains">

                <value>Children</value>

        </rule>

 </node>

Sometimes I can see such a node, but most of the time I cannot. I go to "Movies" (which dumps me into Movies/Title), then I go up one level and I see all the "Movies" nodes, but this one is not shown.

I do have movies with this tag (and I have sometimes seen the node and it is populated correctly), but most of the time I can't get to it. Am I doing something wrong to see the node?

Not knowing what it's for exactly, I tried setting "visibility = 1", but that seemed to have no effect.

Sorry for my ignorance, but is that very different of what can be done with a smart playlist ?

Use a PATH filer. Just type the drive letter as the path rule and it should work pretty well.

Thx. I'll try it..
P.S. I think i'll try Label filter indeed, 'cause i connect only one HDD at a time

There is actually an example in the 1st post of this thread

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

<node order="1" type="filter">

<label>External Drive Movies</label>

<content>movies</content>

<match>all</match>

<icon>disk.png</icon>

<rule field="path" operator="contains"><value>S:</value></rule>

</node>

For example: This would only show movies from a drive called S:.

And in Android ( I've got an Nvidia shield ) how can I do it? Drives aren't called by letters Sad

RE: [HOW TO] Library Node Examples - docwra - 2017-10-31

You can use any part of the drive or share location to match to. So if its in a folder called /share/specialmovies then just use the "specialmovies" as the path filter

Hi,

Here's examples of 2 nodes I've created to interact with my Music Library.

The 1st is to display albums by the series they are part of, I created /library/Albums Series and placed along with index.xml an xml per album series and here is the example for albums in the 'Global Underground' series:

Global Underground.xml

Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<node order="1" type="filter">

    <label>Global Underground</label>

    <content>albums</content>

    <rule field="album" operator="contains">

        <value>Global Underground</value>

    </rule>

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

    <icon>L:\Kodi\Icons\GU.png</icon>

</node>

The 2nd node I've created is for Record Labels, again new folder /library/Record Labels with index.xml and an xml per record label, here is the 'Hooj Choons' xml:

[syntax<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<node order="1" type="filter">
<label>Hooj Choons</label>
<content>albums</content>
<rule field="label" operator="contains">
<value>Hooj Choons</value>
</rule>
<order direction="ascending">album</order>
<icon>L:\Kodi\Icons\hooj.jpg</icon>
</node> [/syntax]

I've added each node as a menu item and then used these in conjunction with a modified 'Infowall' in Madnox to allow me to go through the various xmls and see the 1st 16 cds for each xml.

Mike.

RE: [HOW TO] Library Node Examples - teriyaki - 2018-06-25

Hi, was hoping someone could help me with a node. I'd like, if possible, to list the 20 newest shows added that match the path "/mnt/nfs/media/tv/kids/*". I don't want to use genre matching or tag matching, only matching that path.

Thanks in advance!
