Hi,

How do I get my skin to show more than 25 "Recently played albums" (without hacking any system files)?
I tried the below code but it showed only five albums, and not one was shown in the system provided recentlyplayed.xml.

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<node type="filter">
    <label>MORE Last played albums</label>
    <content>albums</content>
    <limit>36</limit>
    <order direction="descending">lastplayed</order>
    <rule field="playcount" operator="greaterthan">
        <value>0</value>
    </rule>
</node>

I tried and will keep on trying other options.

I have tried:
- lose the playcount rule but that too returned utter nonsence.
- content "songs". Works as expected.

I get my info about the nodes from the wiki on smart playlists. Are there any better resource available?

What to do?

i haven't tested it myself, but give this rule a shot:

Code:

<rule field="virtualfolder" operator="is">
    <value>musicdb://recentlyplayedalbums/</value>
</rule>

it's currently not possible to sort albums by 'lastplayed'.
once this gets merged you should be good to go:
8159 (PR)


since it's not related to Skin dev, i'm moving this to General help and support.

Ty!

I just realized that the above code (in OP) actually returns played albums in isengard. BUT it only shows an album if it has been played in its entirity. Sort method is not working I know.

How do I make it show albums even if just one or perhaps even just half of a track has been played

I want to mimic the basic and natural and intuitive list of albums that the digital pickup has touched.

Bumping. This thread was kicked from skinning to here btw.
