Feature Request - Documentaries
#1
Hi, I like that there is a section on the main menu for HD Movies. But another section i would like it a Documentaries section, but without having to add all my documentaries to the TV Show Library.

Would this be possible.

Smartplaylists is what you want to search for.
Clue : There's a tuto 10 threads under yours.

Thats the only way. To get two seperate TV show libraries:

1. Create a playlist of only documentaries
2. Create a playlist of all TV but documentaries
3. Add both to Home
4. Hide the regular TV show main menu item
5. Now it appears you have 2 TV show libraries...

Why ?
You can have 2 sources with 2 different scrapers.

Well for my documentaries i want to use the TVDB but the only way you can do that is by selecting the content type as a tv show

I created the two playlists, but i would like my TV shows to display the fanart view and the documentaries to display the files view, but when i change one it also changes the other they do not have the two seperate views.

Which is why it would be better to seperate tv shows from documentaries

I'm reasonably sure this can be done - i think this can be done by the skin? I have wanted something similar to this myself. In recently added tv, i want it to actually hide watched episodes, but in regular tv view i dont want them hidden. I'm sure i had this working in confluence, but haven't been able to set this up in Night yet.

.

Yea I can have view "x" for Movies, and view "y" for HD Movies(which is a playlist view), so it's doable to have XBMC remember separate views for playlists...
