I found some strange behaviour in titans smart shortcuts handling (Which drove me almost nuts, because i couldn’ t find the pattern).
First the Setup: Win 7, Kodi krypton rc 2, Titan beta 3.7.41 (from the beta repo, also all scripts are from there)
What i was trying to achive:
I wanted to have entries on main menu for movies, divided by SD or HD Resolution. Also i have some Audiobooks, which i wanted to seperate from Music.
So I made smartplaylists, which worked fine so far. I then thought i wanted to recreate the original titan look with all the widgets, so i made more playlists, like recently added, unwatched and so on. there where a total of 14 Playlists (music and video combined)
The Problem: Whenever I added Music playlists, the same amount of video playlists disapeared from titants option to ad smart shortcuts. First i thought it had something to do with the fact, that there where umlauts in search pattern for the music lists, i got this error when trying to add my music lists:
UnicodeWarning: Unicode unequal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode( i can`t provide the log part unfortunatelly, i remember however it was in
\addons\script.skinshortcuts\resources\lib\guy.pythe method was
def DictDiffer( self, current_dict, past_dict )But even retagging everything from Hörspiel to Audiobook and adjusting the files accordingly didn’t help. It was then, that i found out, that as soon as i add music playlists, movie playlists disapear, so it adds to a total amount of 12. If i don’ t have anything in music, i can have as much movie lists as i want. My solution so far is, to put everything into the mixed folder, this way everything is reachable (it has other shortcomings though, but i guess i can live with that for now.)
Edit1: Another solution might be to toy arround with this library node thingy kodi offers…
Edit2: This must be the strangest bug i ever discovered. I gets even more weired. I tried the solution with video nodes. So i removed the unwanted smart playlists. in movie are 2 entries, as well as in music. Guess what, movies don’t show. After investigating further it seems that the total number of music smart playlists gets substracted from the total number of video smart playlists. i duplicated the very first playlist 2 times, (sums up to a total of 4) and now 2 playlists apear…. this is so weired…
