Rule:"Is in playlist"

[HomerRamone]

Like the title says. Think it might be useful to have this as a rule.

Hi,
can you please provide more details about how this would work as a rule?

[HomerRamone]

I have quite a few playlists that are "next unwatched episode" or "random episode" types.
So for example
TV Show 1 (next unwatched episode of show 1)
TV Show 2 (next unwatched episode of show 2)
TV Show 3 (next unwatched episode of show 3)

What Id like to be able to do is have a playlist that will show me all 3 of these in one list.
So if I was up to S2E3 TV Show 1, S4E2 of TV Show 2 and S4E7 of TV Show 3 the list would show

TV Show 1 S2E3
TV Show 2 S4E7
TV Show 3 S4E7

I would assume it would just be another entry in first field (the one with Album/Series, Play count etc in).
So for the above the filter would be
ANY
Is in Playlist "Next TV Show1"
Is in Playlist "Next TV Show2"
Is in Playlist "Next TV Show3"
Does that make any sense ? Maybe theres already a way I can do this ?

With such I playlist defined above if I then set the ordering set to random and limited the items to one then I might get

TV Show 1 S2E3
or
TV Show 2 S4E7
or
TV Show 3 S4E7

So in effect I would a random next episode of a TV show from any one of a set of given playlists.

We have had a request for a similar feature where the smart rules for a playlist could be grouped so this would allow you to add the rules for multiple playlists into one playlist. We plan to add this to a future version of Mezzmo.
