Smart playlist grabbing things it shouldn't - evank - 2023-01-04

(If this is the wrong forum for this, please point me in the correct direction.)

I think this might be a Kodi bug, but it's possible I'm missing something.

I have a playlist that's a union of two other playlists:
xml:


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

<smartplaylist type="tvshows">

    <name>Evan: TV</name>

    <match>one</match>

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

        <value>Evan: [aux] Tagged TV</value>

    </rule>

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

        <value>Evan: [aux] Tagged Finished TV</value>

    </rule>

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

</smartplaylist>

The first playlist, Evan: [aux] Tagged TV, correctly matches 146 items.  The second playlist Evan: [aux] Tagged Finished TV, correctly matches 0 items.  The union, Evan: TV, however, matches 147 items.

Evan: [aux] Tagged Finished TV is defined as
xml:


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

<smartplaylist type="tvshows">

    <name>Evan: [aux] Tagged Finished TV</name>

    <match>all</match>

    <rule field="tag" operator="is">

        <value>Evan Finished</value>

    </rule>

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

        <value>TV: Up-to-date</value>

    </rule>

    <rule field="playlist" operator="isnot">

        <value>Both: TV</value>

    </rule>

</smartplaylist>

The extra item is tagged Evan Finished and is not in Both: TV, but it also is not in TV: Up-to-date, so it doesn't show up in this playlist (and, so, shouldn't show up in Evan: TV).  It's the only item tagged as Evan Finished, but if I tag another show with unwatched episodes, it similarly gets captured by Evan: TV. 

Up-to-date is defined as
xml:


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

<smartplaylist type="tvshows">

    <name>TV: Up-to-date</name>

    <match>all</match>

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

        <value>0</value>

    </rule>

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

</smartplaylist>
It's meant to capture shows with no unwatched episodes (and appears to do the job).

Any ideas?

If it was the wrong forum, you wouldn't be using Kodi at all. :o)
I've moved the thread to the OS independent subforum for now.

Thanks.  I hadn't noticed that there was an OS-independent subforum.  (Although it's possible that this is a Windows-only bug (if it is a bug) in any case.)

I was hoping you would get a more intelligible response before I put in my 2 cents but I guess not.

If I were in front of your computer I would compare all the outputs, find out what 1 extra item there is in the union list then try to find out why from there.

Since I don't have your exact items in my Kodi any comparison I did would not be the same as on your Kodi.

Hope this helps get you in the right direction.
