| [05:53:40] | mack-: | CCFL_Man: I never found a way to do that for Videos. Finding things like https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo:playRandom.sh in the wiki led me to believe that the capability wasn't there. One reason why I don't use the frontend for video library. |

| [12:20:40] | CCFL_Man: | stuarta: oh, so when i add a new video, create a new playlist? |
| [12:21:16] | CCFL_Man: | mack-: what do you use for the video library? |
| [12:30:18] | stuarta: | CCFL_Man: no, iirc, the process is hit 'm' for menu, rather than enter to play, and you get the option to add to playlist |
| [12:30:36] | stuarta: | then from the same menu you can play the playlist |
| [12:30:41] | stuarta: | try that and see how you get one |
| [12:30:48] | stuarta: | *on |
| [12:30:55] | ** stuarta goes to find some lunch ** | |
| [12:32:43] | CCFL_Man: | oh, thanks! |
| [15:39:20] | mack-: | stuarta: I've never found an option to add a *video* to a playlist. Recordings behave as you describe. |

| [15:45:14] | stuarta: | mack-: i admit, the last time i tried it was better part of 10 years ago ;-) |
| [15:46:16] | mack-: | trying things out in v29 now. Having to wait a while.. grabber is wanting to scan whole library when I choose to get more info on one file. |
| [15:49:14] | mack-: | yes, I last tried it a long time ago. I gave up when I saw the perl scripts on the wiki to handle hacky ways to do it and found "playlists for Videos" on the Feature Requests list since time immemorial. |
| [15:57:40] | ]dc[: | playlists for Videos , I wish |
| [15:59:20] | stuarta: | i clearly imagined it then. i'm sure that was how i did a looping demo video |
| [16:05:43] | mack-: | I chose to get more info from the menu on a specific movie. The grabber took over and is scanning all video directories. Now I'm presented with an unnamed modal-type window with similar titles. If I didn't know already what it was wanting me to do, this would be where I gave up. I still will, however, since I have all the Godzilla universe movies, and the grabber can't distinguish one from the other, and this titleless window |
| [16:05:43] | mack-: | doesn't even hint as which file it's asking me to choose for. |
| [16:06:06] | stuarta: | "some work required" |
| [16:06:28] | mack-: | not sure I want to hit Esc several hundred times :) |
| [16:08:58] | mack-: | so yeah, CCFL_Man, for video collection I chose something built as a video library player. For TV and recordings, I chose MythTV. Handily enough, there are mythtv plugins available for some of the video library software. |
