If you do what daveleebond said to do, you'll make this a million times easier. Took me about 10 minutes yesterday.

10 minutes should only take 1 Laugh

I look for BluRay in the file name as I have movies that are HDTV records and want them separate otherwise I would use the resolution method Smile

It took me nine minutes to figure out that I had to turn off the play playlists in submenu.

I fell for this one myself, "path is" is absolute. If there is no media file in that exact folder, it will have no results. Thus "path contains" or "starts with" is required.

Are that makes sense

@BigO

Did you figure it out yet as I remembered I had fraps on one of my systems so did you a video as I'm bored Laugh

I added it to the sub menu but your get the idea not the greatest quality but ok as I didn't want to wait around ages for the upload to finish

I think i see what i did wrong now, i didnt add the favorite under the "movie" section like you did. Im going to try again when i get home and see how it pans out.

You can either add it under the movie section or under the main menu or both. It works any way you do it.

I think he might be referring to adding the playlist created to favorites first which of course you must do
