Need help with XML file.
#1
I'm running through the Wiki and having trouble understanding how to layout
the XML files to create Home Menu items for my collection.

I'm wanting to have this menu layout:
3D Animated Documentaries TV Shows Movies Movie Sets


I don't want the Movie selection showing any movies that appear in Movie Sets, for example.
And I have everything separated in Folders: a 3D folder, a Documentaries Folder, etc.

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<node order="1" type="filter">
<label>3D</label>
<path>C:\3D</path>
<content>movies</content>
<match>all</match>
<icon>C:\3D\3D.png</icon>
<rule field="path" operator="contains">C:\3D</rule>
</node>

Do I create one of those for each selection and be done with it, or is there more to it?

Aeon Nox has functionality for smart playlists and to add them to the home screen menu via the GUI in settings: (no need to mess with xml code)

The easiest solution is to sort your media into individual content folders: i.e. One for all you cartoons, docos, blah, blah etc

Create a smart playlist with the rule of path and starts with (you may need to adjust to "one or more rules" if adding multiple paths for the playlist) and them creating a custom menu where the type will video playlist you created.

It is limited to 6 additional menus, though you can kill some of the defaults and put those to use if required.
