So I have Movies folder in D, E and F drives.
Under each drive/movies I have 3 different types of movies
something like
1 d/movies/anime
2 d/movies/action
3 d/movies/drama
4 e/movies/anime
5 e/movies/action
6 e/movies/drama
7 f/movies/anime
8 f/movies/action
9 f/movies/drama
So when I add source to the library.. I did something like this
Source anime--> Path 1,4,7
Source action-->Path 2,5,8
Source drama--> Path 3,6,9
All collectively show up in the movies menus but I want to add a playlist only for type1
Therefore when I added a smart playlist and select source "drama" which i added above...
but when i go inside the playlist I dont see anything.. it says library is empty.
The way I created the smart playlist is as following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
<name>drama all</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="path" operator="startswith">multipath://D%3a%5cMovies%5cdrama%5c/F%3a%5cMovies%5cdrama%5c/G%3a%5cMovies%5cdrama%5c/</rule>
<order direction="ascending">title</order>
</smartplaylist>
I tried with starts with,contains etc but none worked..whats going on here?
I can create a playlist with 3 diff paths (actual uris) it will work but if i select this multipath it wont.. why ??
Its not really anime/drama etc which I can sort with genre.. these are actually 3 diff languages...
