Hi,

in these days I tried to make a smart playlist.. I'd like to do top 250 imdb as preset in Kodi, but I can't be able to do it... I don't know why once I setted everything, the playlist shows all my films and not only the top 250.

Any ideas to help me? 

tks

The smart playlist should look like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
<name>Top 250</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="top250" operator="greaterthan">0</rule>
<limit>250</limit>
<order direction="ascending">top250</order>
</smartplaylist>

Of course, if you haven't scrapped the top 250 or set-up up your scraper for it, then the .nfo will not have that information. Check with a text editor one of the top 250 .nfo and see if the tag is listing inside <top250>100</top250>

Hi Wanilton,

I'm your nightmare!!! I always ask for your help!!
That script has I to write on "New Rules"?.. if yes.... (I'm afraid to ask you) how can I start with a new paragraph with Kodi's qwerty? I'm able to write only one paragraph! 
Have I to write in an XML file???

2 ways, using smartplaylist creator (Kodi will create) or manually create an XSP file...and put the file in your userdata/playlists/video/top_250.xsp or any other filename.

If you said Kodi will create means that doesn’t it exists yet?
anyway... can i create an XSP file in Android also? I’m using Nvidia Shield!

I've done but when I move into Smart-playlist kodi shows me Party mode playlist and New Smart Playlist as usual... so I try to browse back in Playlist and there I find the 250_Xps file... but I can't do nothing with it!

Where Am i doing wrong??

@Alcarimon,

If you create one correct xsp file, now you need to go to customize the main menu and create one item in the main menu, using replace function, choose a playlist, video playlist, select your xsp file and done. Now rename the main menu item to 250 top or another name, try open, I believe will work fine.

I've DONE!!! I created a playlist by KODI. After that, I took the file xps kodi made and I modified it with your code!! And now the smartplaylist works!!

Another question: once created my Top 250 Playlist Kodi find all films about that list, but not in every films "Top 250 n° X" be showed. I link a foto to explain me better:

I tried to edit the file nfo but the top250 info already exists and I don't know how to solve! I also tried to find the different between correct film's file nfo and bad one, but it's too difficult for me... I've not the knowhow!

Can I do something or is it too difficult???
