Solved Issue Option to Create Multiple Video Libraries

TRaSH · 2012-01-05 14:27

looks like another work arround,
perhaps i can give it a try also depents if my kid can work it this way.
need to figure out how i can put that option on my remote when i finally get it once working in XBMC.

You can have a logon at start up with profiles

Why would smart playlists break the addons ("recently added tv-shows" and "recently added movies") ?

my HTPC would run constant on XBMC only goes to standby,
so it will be always running.

becaus when you disable the movie entry point(why would i want to keep it when it's a big mess with the kids movies mixed with my movies) and use the playlist as entrypoints it won't show the addons when i select movie or tv-series (using aeon MQ3).

Your talking about the widget you would need to edit the skin and replace movies with a link to your playlist that excludes kids then it would still work

You can switch profiles from the shutdown menu or probably easier to understand for kids is to map a remote button to call the login screen this has a nicer feel IMHO, you need to map the following in the keyboard.xml

Code:

ActivateWindow(LoginScreen)

Can you not set the addons folder as a Favourite then use the skin settings to add the Favourite to the Home screen?

perhaps but then it doesn't show "recently added movies/TV" when i goto the movies,
and the info about the movies/TV in collection

Thanks - could someone just have told me that 1 year ago Big Grin

Looking at the movies in File view and using Pre Eden - I actually see this as the best solution for all this. IF we can not have multiple Video Libraries

----------------------------------------------

I dont think the real solution to all this is a work around using multiple profiles or playerlists. Specialy the multi profile setup I know gonna make my family confused even I setup profile makros and stuff.

how it looks now,
if you need seperate entry points and your movie/TV serie split from each other,
for example if you don't want your kids movies in your list without weird work arrounds the best solution would be use MC7+MB.
there you got the option to have different entry points(multiple movie or TV entrypoints) on the home screen.

but i'm still looking if there will be a decent way to get it all working with XBMC

Well for kids the login screen on a remote button seems ideal to me the transition between profiles doing it that way is very nice plus they can have their own skins settings addons and don't mess with how you want your library

If you want it all under one profile then for the time being your either have to use custom menus or sub menus or your going to have to edit the skin and replace the original "Movies"
