HI everyone,
i know this has been asked time and time again, but i just can get it to work.
I am running Xbuntu Forodo 12 on my HTPC connected to my NAS with the following folders:
1. Movies
2. TV Shows
3. Anime
4. Vietnamese Movies
5. HK Film
They are all in seperate folders. Using the standard theme i have setup favorites pointing to these NFS shares on my nas and works perfectly, but for the past 3 months i been trying to get the Aeon Nox theme working with custom play lists. I updated the type on each list on the weekend letting index through my whole NAS again to ensure that each folder was updated correctly.
I have tried to follow the following video from CaptainKen is it ? but does not seem to work.
My custom menus do not seem to display anything.
I found another step by step from him using these steps
- Create Playlist
01) Videos
02) Playlists
03) New Smart Playlist
04) Type = Movies (this should be better choice than TV Shows)
05) Name of Playlist = Anime Movies (or whatever you want)
06) New Rule...Add
07) Match Items where = path
08) starts with
09) Browse to your Anime folder
10) Items must match = all of the rules
11) Order by Title ascending
12) Press OK to save
- Assign to desired Main Menu item
01) Settings->Skin->Customizers->Main menu item customizer
02) Highlight unused Custom menu item
03) Up arrow
04) Smart Playlist Manager
05) Select Type = Random Movies
06) Include already watched items? = Yes (choose your preference)
07) Fitness Movies
08) Esc
09) Press Enter on desired unused Custom Main Menu item
10) Disable = false
11) Type = Video Playlist
12) Label = Anime Movies (the name of the Smart Playlist you created)
- Setting the random background artwork
01) Choose background
02) Anime Movies (Random Movies)
03) Set InfoLine
04) Fitness Movies (Random Movies)
05) Backspace
But i still can not get them to work ? Does anyone seem to know what i am doing wrong ?
thanks
