"Has Trailer" flagging property with a flag overlay support in the skinning engine?

Jeroen Wrote:Personally I think this would be a good feature to include in PM3.

I agree with you Jeroen, a good starting place for skin development that may drive behaviours for other skins being developed.
Is someone with svn access able to add bugman72's mod to PM3?

The movie table contains the entry for the trailer so it should be exposeable to the smart playlists rules. (It's the path to the trailer, so the only relevant rule would be something like "has trailer".)

An overlay for movies with a trailer should also be relatively easy to add. As would an additional filter type "Unwatched with Trailers" or something like that but I would be hesitant to add another filter since they seem to be causing a spur of "why dont i see all videos" questions lately.

But playcount does, which is the same... Playcount=0 = unwatched, Playcount>0 = watched

doh!
yes you are correct sho.
interesting naming convention

Done. I'd appreciate some eyes over smartplaylists for movies et. al. - I think the "order by" clauses won't work?

Cheers,

Awesome thanks jmarshall, I will update my svn when I am back home at the end of this week to 14351 or higher and try it out.

Finally back at home and had a chance to update to latest SVN 14606.
Rules for Has Trailer and Play Count(ie; unwatched) works fantastic - THANKS AGAIN!!

Not sure that I completely understand 'order by', I tried setting it as Rating and running the Smartplaylist again and it came up in the same order.
Is this in conflict with the 'Sort By' function in the Videos list?

there should be a sort-by options of "playlist" which is supposed to display them in the order the items were in the playlist.
