Show recently added unwatched movies in home?

General Discussion

I’ve set up the home movie widget to recently added movies, but it also show watched movies. How do I set it up to only show unwatched movies?
I’m using the OSMC skin. In older versions it only showed the recent unwatched movies.

Thanks!

Check the widget settings or ask the developer of the widget? OSMC really has no bearing on this issue.

Ok. Let me rephrase the question:
How do I configure OSMC to show recently unwatched movies?

Depends on the skin. Usually there is a playlist somewhere that is used by the widget (or skin has preferences to configure the widget) - but usually it’s just a smart playlist.

There you could make adjustments as you want…

The below one would display the last 50, never watched movies for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>recentmovies</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="playcount" operator="is">
        <value>0</value>
    </rule>
    <limit>50</limit>
    <order direction="descending">dateadded</order>
</smartplaylist>

How do I add the playlist?
The widget is located here:
/usr/share/kodi/system/library/video/movies/recentlyaddedmovies.xml
and contains:
< ?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8” standalone=“yes” ?>
< node order=“10” type=“folder” visible=“Library.HasContent(Movies)”>
< label>20386< /label>
< icon>DefaultRecentlyAddedMovies.png< /icon>
< path>videodb://recentlyaddedmovies/< /path>
< /node>

You can add rules to custom library node as well. That file you listed defines what is shown.

Edit it, add a rule that playcount needs to be zero. That should be it. Will filter out everything in this custom node then that doesn’t fit the rule.

<rule field="playcount" operator="is">
    <value>0</value>
</rule

See: http://kodi.wiki/view/video_nodes and http://kodi.wiki/view/Smart_Playlists for more details.
