Smart Playlist HELP!! Ignore articles when sorting 'the' - heapy83 - 2013-02-27
Hi all,
I've set up smart playlists so I can separate my movies, stand-up comedy and my documentaries. I'm having trouble with the ordering, they are currently in alphabetical order (which I sort of want), but I want XBMC to ignore all the 'the's.
The skin I use is MQ4, I'm on 11 Eden, and my operating system is Windows 7. In the skin settings on MQ4 there's a setting called - 'ignore articles when sorting' which does this in the main videos/movies section. I think I have to edit the movies.xsp to achieve what I'm after, but I don't have the foggiest idea what to put!! Any help would be much appreciated.
My current 'Movies.xsp' looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
<name>Movies</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="genre" operator="isnot">stand up</rule>
<rule field="genre" operator="isnot">documentary</rule>
<order direction="ascending">title</order>
</smartplaylist>
