Hello

I've had some errors trying to use playlists in main menu and in sub menu under movies. I got the error script.playlists error.
So i've tried to delete the XBMC completely and started with a fresh and clean install.

So now i've made som smart playlist in XBMC, but when i will choose Video Playlist in the settings, all I got is two options; None (Clear the current settings) and Video Library Node. Not one of my three smart playlists is listed.
That goes for both main menu items (Custom 1, 2, 3 ...) and the custom menu subfolder.

Do i miss any add-on or something like that? Now there is no error, but my smart playlists is'nt showing up.

Hope one of you maybe got the answer i'm looking for.

Using Aeon Nox 4 and XBMC 12.0 RC3 on Windows.

do you have your playlists saved in default xbmc playlist folder?
debug log could also help.

did you install script.playlists from here http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/frodo/ ?

[michelskovbo]

My playlists are saved in the deafult playlist folder.
Yes, the script is installed.

Today the script.playlists error is popping up agian, when trying to use custom menu for a video playlist.

The dubug log is to long to post here.

you probably installed some stuff manually by extracting. that way not all dependencies (in this case the elementtree module) get installed.

I installed this one (only for the Live BD case background) https://github.com/mikebzh44/Aeon-Nox

And when i installed this one, the playlist didnt work.

Then i installed this: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/frodo/script.playlists/ manually into addon directory of xbmc.

Then the error came.

Can it be mikebzh44's git that is corrupt some how?

EDIT: Just tried https://github.com/BigNoid/Aeon-Nox and erased all the old files in skin.aeon.nox. The problem is still there.

you do not have script.module.elementtree installed. nothing to do with nox/mikes zip.

[michelskovbo]

I see - this is now installed, and the thing is working again.
Mark as solved.

Thanks so much phil.
