Change amount "recently added albums"

[iddqd]

Hi

Perhaps it's not a linux specific question. But is it possible to change the amount of "recently added albums"?

Thanks for hints!

Not without altering the code, no. You could setup a smartplaylist to do it for you, but that would involve navigating to the playlists item first.

Hi jmarshall

What do you exactly mean with

I already tried to create a smartplaylist, but I can't find a criterion like date added or so...?

There isn't a date added - is it a sort option?

I can only choose between

random
rating
label
type
styles
moods
themes
review
year
album artist
artist
album
gerne
none

I tried it with different orders, but the albums are always sorted by name.

Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="albums">
<name>test</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="genre" operator="is">rock</rule>
<order direction="descending">review</order>
</smartplaylist>

I think if you sort by None in descending order it might work. You have to make sure you have Sort by: Playlist in use in the skin, otherwise it'll re-sort them later on.
