I'm aware that you can make a music playlist however I still have yet to find info in making a movie playlist. Is this possible? I found one how to video on YouTube and he brought out it depends on what skin you use and he briefly showed a tutorial. However after following his instructions the playlist still didn't work, nothing was in the playlist and I couldn't make it appear on the home screen. What I'm trying to do is separate the R rated movies from the PG movies so the kids will have their own playlist of movies. Can this be done??

Will the playlist automatically update when new movies are added?

Are your movies scanned into your video library? If not, then smart playlists won't work.
And even if they are scanned into your library, do they have MPAA ratings associated with them? Click "i" on a movie title and see if the "MPAA rating" field has a value in the format: "Rated G", "Rated PG", etc.

yes I have the movies scanned into the XBMC library, they show up under Movies and the rating is showing up under Movies also so I assume it knows the rating..
Under Add button I only put PG-13 not Rated PG-13 maybe that is whats wrong, i'll try it that way
Ok that was the issue.. it works now thanks... My other question is will the playlist automatically update the movies in the playlist when XBMC updates ??
