Okay. So I have two folders of videos, I have a folder for music videos and a folder for cartoons. For the sake of convenience, all the videos in both folders were added to my library as "Movies" instead of "Music Videos" or "TV Shows" because the scrapers couldn't find the info for a lot of my music videos and cartoons.
I'm throwing a party that will have mostly adults but there will also be a couple kids there. What I want to basically do is make a playlist that plays 3 random music videos from my music video folder and then plays 1 random cartoon from my cartoon folder, then loops but still picking music videos and a single cartoon at random.
I have two smart playlists that do EXACTLY what I want them to do, one is titled MusicVideoBlock that plays 3 random music videos and the other is titled CartoonVideoBlock that plays 1 random cartoon video.
Here are the smart playlist file rules:
MusicVideoBlock
CartoonVideoBlock
However, when I try to combine the playlists via creating a smartplaylist, it just doesn't work. Nothing shows up in the playlist. I tried making the combined smartplaylist follow these rules:
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The two smartplaylists do exactly what they're supposed to do, but when I try to make a smartplaylist that plays one after the other, I get a blank playlist. Any help would be extremely appreciated. <3
Sorry, I'm sure the solution is extremely simple. I just installed XBMC yesterday so I'm still getting used to everything.
