Greetings.
I've sifted through the posts I could find with relevant keywords but no luck so I'm posting here.
I have ~5k episodes, the vast majority (99%) of which are marked as watched. Many, like sitcoms, I'd like to watch again randomly when I'm in the mood. I would very much like to be able to (using Aeon Nox) just flip from the main menu to a Sitcoms playlist and have em boogie at random. This would seem like a.. I don't know.. shockingly trivial thing. I do not, however, want these shows listed in my primary episode library - that's for unwatched materials. I've tried this several ways but what I cannot get around is that I seem to have to set my entirely library to "Show All" or "Show Watched" to get the watched episodes to show up in the playlist. My point in using a specific playlist is to watch *watched* shows without having to flip the whole library over (which has to be flipped back when I return to regular watching).
Please someone tell me I've missed something bc this seems like something that XBMC Playlists should "just do". That is, one of the criteria for playlist rules should be "is flagged as watched" at voila! I've tried combining playlists and various permutations but they don't seem to work.
Your help would be much appreciated.
