Smart collection isn't smart enough, is it?

Post by 42Weeks »

Ok, I don't know how to say this, well, in iTunes, when creating Smart Playlist, you can hold the 'option' key and click 'add', then there's a combo of matching criteria. But I can't find where this function is in DVDpedia smart collection, which is very inconvenient.

Thank you for the feedback. It's not possible in the Pedias to do nested smart collection rules. You can create "and (or)" rules by creating one smart collection and then creating a second smart collection and using "movie is/not in collection" to base part of the moves included on the previous smart collection.

OK, so it means I need to make a blacklist manually. Only one question, is this feature very hard to realise? Theoretically or practically?

It's technically complex. Now that we are finally 10.5+ only it's easier but still quite a lot of work. It's on the to do list of improvements to match the look, feel and functionality of the iTunes version.
