Evaluating Smart Bidding performance - Duration: 4:51.

[light music]

Smart Bidding in Google Ads

allows you to manage your bids effectively and efficiently.

It uses advanced machine learning

to help you tailor the right bid to each and every auction.

To have an accurate understanding of your Smart Bidding performance,

it's important that you don't run your analysis too early.

The recommended timeline to evaluate and test bidding performance is as follows:

Implement Smart Bidding and then consider the learning period.

The learning period is the period of time

in which Google Ads gathers the performance data it needs to optimize your bids.

When a bid strategy is in the learning period,

limit major changes to the campaign as much as possible.

For example,

avoid budget changes,

major keyword additions,

and landing page swaps.

This is because the bid strategy is currently adjusting to the campaign set up.

It typically takes one to two weeks for a bid strategy to adjust,

although this largely depends on the volume of conversions.

Smart Bidding should work for all campaigns,

but ramp up tends be faster when there's more conversion volume.

Once the learning period has ended,

establish a two to four week post-control period.

And lastly,

consider your conversion lag.

Most clicks don't result in immediate conversions,

since customers may interact with your ads across multiple searches and devices.

After you've allowed for the Smart Bidding algorithm to learn and for your conversions to register,

you can begin to analyze performance through one of these three methods:

Drafts and experiments,

target metric comparison through the bid strategy report

or pre/post metric analysis.

If you tested a bid strategy by running an experiment,

you can understand the results from the scorecard that populates at the top of your experiment.

If you added a bid strategy directly to your campaign,

the recommended method to evaluate performance is to use the bid strategy report.

This report allows you to understand how your bid strategies have performed for key metrics.

From the campaigns tab,

use the "Bid strategy type" column to access the bid strategy report.

View the campaign's bid strategy status at the top of the report.

This campaign is currently active rather than learning.

Here the campaign Target CPA is set to $5.00.

Average Target CPA

is the average target that your bid strategy optimized for

over the selected time period.

In this report,

the average is higher than $5.00.

This is because the average CPA includes any device bid adjustments,

Target CPAs set at the ad group level,

and any changes made to your strategy target over this time period.

Actual CPA is the actual cost of a conversion that your bid strategy was able to achieve.

We see that the actual CPA is lower than the Target CPA of $5.00.

When viewing the graph,

don't focus on daily performance.

View at least a week long time period to understand CPA trends.

The yellow triangle signifies various changes that affected the bid strategy during this time period.

For example,

during this time period the campaign's bid strategy was limited by budget.

The bid strategy report indicates any conversion lag impacting your campaign.

It differs from the Time Lag report,

since it's specific to the campaign using Smart Bidding.

On average,

in this campaign we're reviewing,

it takes 23 days for customers to convert.

To accurately evaluate performance,

factor out this conversion lag reported in your bid strategy report.

A third way to compare performance is by using a pre/post evaluation method.

This is the most challenging way to compare the performance of Smart Bidding,

since there are many additional variables that may be influencing these metrics.

For example,

if you choose to compare performance from month to month,

there may be seasonality differences or auction dynamics that don't render it a true comparison.

The bid strategy report will provide the most stable picture of your Smart Bidding performance.

Buying Watches Online – Tips to Become a Smart Luxury Watch Buyer! - Duration: 7:14.

This is Watch Your Style.

Today we're gonna be discussing how to buy a watch on the Internet or through social

media.

OK, so where do I begin?

I mean, one of the first things that you wanna look at is, what service am I gonna use to

find this watch?

Whether it's gonna be through social media, perhaps on Instagram or if you're gonna be

using a service like eBay, also a very good verifiable source.

Or you could maybe buy directly from a website on the Internet that's an ecommerce website.

I also wanna mention that there's also services like Chrono24 or perhaps you could also maybe

find the watch that a company has and then you can contact them directly via the telephone

or email.

One of things that I wanna point out is always avoid, in my opinion, things like Craigslist

or OfferUp.

That for me is just very shady because you really can't research the seller.

Which leaves me to the most important point of all, you have to buy the seller.

If you're gonna be on eBay, you need to look at the reviews for the person selling this.

If it's gonna be directly from a website or maybe you just research the company through

Google.

You look at their reviews, ask questions.

Those are the type of things you have to do.

You gotta get a feel for the person.

You don't wanna just...I get it...I get people that call me all the time and say, �Hey

Eric.

How can I buy a watch from you.

I've never done a transaction like this.�

I'm gonna be as transparent as possible.

I'm gonna say, well, let's put everything on email, so everything is in writing, description,

pictures, stuff like that.

That's what kind of makes it legit.

Those are the type of things that make you feel better.

You're gonna wanna research the seller always.

Like I said, do reviews, read the reviews, all those stuff is what's gonna make you certify

that the person that you're buying from is legit.

When it comes to buying through social media, you're gonna wanna do the same thing.

Find out if the person has a legit company.

Research the company.

See if it's active.

Look at the reviews.

Again, ask plenty of questions.

I would like to always do things through email, even for my own safety as a seller, I put

things in email.

That way it's all in writing.

Yes of course, I may say send pictures to the customer through the DMs, or through a

text message on a phone, but once the moment comes to officially make the purchase, I like

to put things on email.

That way they are legit.

So when you're buying through services like eBay or Chrono24, you have a little bit more

of a cushion feeling because those services alone provide you sort of like a safety net,

you know?

They kind of help you a little bit with fraud and stuff like that, like Chrono24 will put

the money through escrow before you receive the watch.

Ebay has it's own set of rules, but you have to do the diligence, because eBay you wanna

find out a lot about the seller.

I mean, there are fake watches for sale on eBay.

When all else fails, research the seller.

Another thing I wanna point out is look at the prices.

One thing is if somebody is pricing something very aggressive, but if a price looks too

good to be true, is just probably not there.

It could be either an old ad.

There's a lot of ghost ads out there, where guys will have prices on their website or

a Chrono24 listing that they don't really have the watch.

It's just an old ad that they had maybe a year ago and it's still renewing.

Keep that in mind.

If a price is too good to be true, for me that's already a red flag.

So don't be afraid to ask many questions.

Call the person.

Talk to them on the phone.

If someone refused to get on the phone with you, that's kind of a red flag for me too.

You know what I mean?

I always tell customers all the time, you know we exchange photos of the watch after

they ask for plenty of photos, which I'm more than happy to show.

I wanna save myself the time in shipping in case there's a return.

But get on the phone with the person.

Feel it out.

See how you feel.

Ask for plenty of pictures and you don't waste any time by asking plenty of pictures.

OK, so the next thing that I wanna talk about and this is an important one is the payment

options.

For me, a legit form of payment would be a bank transfer, cash, or credit card transaction.

Those are the three major ones, OK?

Things you wanna look out, which for me are red flags would be Western Union, Moneygram,

Venmo, stuff like that, Cash App.

That's a big no-no.

You see, somebody with a social media site on Instagram and they put, �All watches

are authentic.

Payment through Moneygram, Western Union, or Venmo,� that's a no-no right there man.

You have no way to track the payment and that just spells fraud in my opinion.

The sales that are done correctly are gonna be done through a bank transfer, bank wire.

You cannot fake that.

That can be tracked to the source.

Cash deposits, cash transactions, or credit card, because you can verify the credit card.

So keep an eye on that.

The payment option is also gonna be something that would be a red flag.

Depending on the person that you're trying to make this purchase from, keep an eye on

what country they're in.

If you're in the US and the person's in Europe, when the time comes to ship the watch over,

you're gonna have to pay an import tax.

Keep that in mind.

I mean, I would preferably like to buy, if I'm in the US, I like to buy with somebody

in the US.

You're gonna buy a watch from somebody in another country.

Maybe it is a good a deal.

Maybe the person is legit, but keep in mind the duty fee because you might not be factoring

that in in the total price and it might be a super deal, but then after you pay the import

tax, it might not be such a big deal at all.

So that's pretty much it man.

I mean, the last thing that I wanna tell you is just don't be afraid to ask questions.

I got guys that call me at the store and say, �Hey Eric.

I wanna buy a watch from you and it's just my first time,� or, �It's a big purchase.

I'm sorry, I got so many questions,� and I always say, �Hey, it's not a problem!

It's my job to answer the questions.� You know, you wanna make the buyer feel comfortable.

It should be as transparent as possible.

So remember, remember all the facts that I pointed out earlier.

Keep those all in mind and good luck out there and shop for some good deals.

So make sure that you hit the bell until it looks like this, otherwise, you might not

be seeing my newest videos.

And feel free to comment below how you feel about buying a watch on the Internet or social

media.

#ISE2019 | What is the new Genelec Smart IP Audio Platform? - Duration: 3:20.

The Smart IP Audio Platform basically combines power going into the loudspeaker,

on the same cable with audio streaming to the loudspeaker

and also including all control, management and monitoring functions.

Everything on the single cable.

So it enables us to create loudspeakers that have only one cable running to the loudspeaker

and that cable is a standard CAT-5 cable, using the standard IP network.

It's essentially a replacement of the standard methods of installing audio.

So it's intended for AV install applications and the idea is that it's an easy, straightforward way

of installing the highest quality audio possible.

This is actually compatible with the existing standard audio streaming solutions.

So it enables streaming Audio-over-IP down to the loudspeaker at highest possible quality.

And we're using standard IP protocols, so everything we are using is based on standard methods.

We are using PoE+.

PoE+ is able to deliver something like 23 to 25 watts

of continuous power into the loudspeaker.

The loudspeaker has a special power supply that enables us

to play higher power levels in peaks needed by audio signals.

So this enables us to build loudspeakers up to the size of the equivalent of the 4040.

So we are able to deliver the same acoustic performance, including the maximum SPL.

The Loudspeaker Manager Software that we are creating together with this concept

is intended for the installation time.

So when you are installing these loudspeakers somewhere,

you need to configure the zones where the audio is playing,

you need to then calibrate the methods of playback that you intend to use.

Including compensation for the room acoustic loading effects.

So that you can have the sound that you want to have.

And finally the software enables you to store all these situations into the loudspeakers.

And then later you will be able to recall the acoustic calibration for use.

Both Mac and Windows.

I think Mac is going to be very popular as the platform,

Although Windows usage has been increasing in the business.

Yes, it supports all hardware and software control mechanisms that are in use today,

because we supply a set of published commands

that enable automation systems to access the loudspeakers.

So this means that you're able to use any standard user interface methods

whether it's physical buttons, touch panels or some other automation systems

to control various things in the loudspeakers, including volume and the acoustic playback situation.

We are working towards Q4 of this year.

So at the end of this year we plan to have the first products on the market.

And we'll have to come back to what the actual products will be at that time.

City of Tomorrow - Smart Building Technology - Duration: 22:57.

*

* lounge music *

It's happening here and now:

New urban landscapes are emerging before our eyes.

But what will our cities look like in 20 or 50 years?

Will they be more livable?

Or is urban improvement merely a utopia?

The answer lies in intelligent planning,

innovative building technologies and urban greening.

Today's so-called smart cities

are the proving grounds for the cities of tomorrow.

* lounge music *

Singapore is a leading business location

and on its way to becoming a so-called smart nation.

The small city state - barely twice the size of Vienna -

can only grow in one direction: upwards.

96 percent of Singapore's 5.6 million inhabitants

live in high-rise buildings.

Sustainable construction is encouraged by the government,

since water, energy and building materials are scarce.

Singapore's University of Technology and Design

offers classes in sustainable architecture.

One of the professors comes from Austria.

(man:) >The courtyards and void spaces in-between.

>You can also see that the concrete elements

are shaped in different ways.

>These features also provide shade to the parts of the facade.

>In Singapore, since we are almost exactly on the equator,

we have most solar impact on the east and west facades.

>That is why here on the north and south facades,

we have long stretches of facades because there is less solar impact.

>But then, when you look at the ends, here, all the east and west facades

are very small so that they don't have as much solar impact.

The facade's overhanging metal and concrete elements

shield against the tropical heat.

The design allows for sufficient daylight inside,

while also providing shade and protection against rain.

In recent years, architects have also increasingly focused on greening.

>Singapore is often called Asia's greenest city.

>The tropical climate plays an important role,

as it helps the vegetation to grow quickly.

>In turn, this green component has a positive impact

on the climate in the city.

>For example, the shade provided by the many trees

helps keep the sidewalk and street pavement from getting too hot.

>And the green facades have a similar effect — providing shade

to keep building temperatures much cooler than they would be otherwise.

* traffic noise *

Plants overgrow skyscrapers, forming lush vertical gardens

that benefit the microclimate and quality of life.

This "urban jungle" is a low-tech solution for climate issues.

The city's green buildings make Sin- gapore an international role model.

The United World College is a certified green building.

The campus was developed with sus- tainability as the guiding principle.

It is only 8 a.m. and the outside temperature

is already 30 degrees Celsius in tropical Singapore.

With staggering amounts of energy used each day

to keep the city's air conditioning units running,

the school leadership was intent on finding a less wasteful alternative

for keeping the classrooms cool.

* kids' voices *

In 2012, one of the world's largest solar cooling systems was installed.

It was developed and tested in Austria.

On the college's roof, high-performance solar collectors

produce boiling hot water even with diffuse sunlight,

which often prevails in the tropics.

* monotonous music *

The solar plant can supply the entire warm water needs

of the school, its boarding home and canteen.

In addition, the solar heated water is used to pre-cool the classrooms.

As a result, the school building

uses up to 60 percent less power for electric cooling

than the average building in Singapore.

The plant's dimensions are impressive.

>The solar thermal collector field

has a size of approximately 3,900 square meters.

>It is the biggest solar thermal system in Singapore.

>The heat produced by the solar collector field

is transmitted to the solar storage tank via a network of pipes

which is approximately 2,400 meters in length.

30 minutes before classes start, the chiller is activated to convert

hot water from the solar collectors into cool water via evaporation.

It is pumped into a network of pipes to precool the classrooms.

Thanks to its state-of-the-art facilities

the school has achieved Singapore's highest green building certification.

* soft music *

In the northern hemisphere buildings must be heated,

in the tropics they must be cooled.

These researchers have also developed an experimental concept

for cooling buildings and are able to test it at the school.

An office building was built according to their design.

>In Singapore, if you want to look at energy efficiency in buildings,

you'll immediately point at air conditioning.

>It consumes about 60 percent

of the building stocks' electricity consumption in the country.

>We're looking at adapting very thin, compact air conditioning systems

that are more energy-efficient.

>A developer who builds a high-rise building

may not be as incentivized with energy savings

as he would about saving space,

either making things larger, more atrium-like, or perhaps -

as 3for2 is — putting more floors into the standard space,

so three for two floors.

>That's in a nutshell the concept.

>Here, we built a pilot to demonstrate the technology.

The building design concept

was developed at the Future Cities Laboratory,

a testing ground for futuristic research

established in 2010 in Singapore as a branch of the ETH Zurich.

Over 100 architects, urban and traffic planners, engineers,

IT specialists and historians from 29 nations

are here to plan the cities of the future.

A young engineer from Austria

is assisting the project group for building cooling.

* lively music *

>The big difference between conventional systems

and our 3for2 concept is that we use water-based cooling

instead of the usual airbased design.

>This has several key advantages.

>It's more space-efficient because we use relatively thin water pipes

instead of large air ducting.

>Plus it is more energy-efficient

due to water having a much higher heat capacity than air.

An infrared camera shows

where the thin pipes carrying cool water run along the ceilings.

These replace the large air ducts

used in conventional air conditioning systems.

As a result, three floors can now fit in the same space as two.

With more and more people living in cities,

and climate change as well as urban heat effects

causing temperatures to rise,

an increasing number of high-rise buildings

will need energy-efficient cooling systems.

* lively music *

Sensors installed in the school office

provide the researchers with continuous real-time data.

The data can also be accessed online by scientists anywhere in the world,

allowing them to take virtual tours

and to learn from the pilot building in Singapore.

* lively music, low-voiced conversation *

Digitalization, rapid data transfer, smart software, high-tech electronics

are revolutionizing the field of construction research.

New imaging and simulation technologies

are being tested in Gleisdorf, Austria.

* conversation in German *

>We need to get the entire side of the facade

to clearly distinguish the windows and thermal bridges.

(man:) >Right. We need to watch the trees.

This one-of-a-kind research project started during winter.

The early morning cold presents the ideal conditions

for the high-tech cameras, which are mounted on a hot-air balloon.

Their job is to capture color and thermal images

of entire city districts.

The researchers are systematically scanning for hotspots

or buildings in need of improvements.

They are much easier to spot from a bird's eye view.

(woman:) >Hotspots are what we call areas in a city

where energy efficiency is low.

>This can be due to heat losses on facades or roofs,

using the wrong energy sources for heating and so on.

>There are a number of criteria for defining a hotspot.

>So we need to analyze the information in more detail.

* buzzing *

Technically advanced drones equipped with infrared cameras

are used in the second part of the research project.

Thermal imaging from the hot-air balloon

has identified the city's problem zones,

but these must now be surveyed in more detail using the drones.

>These are the color and thermal images.

The aerial images are fed into image processing software

that was developed in Austria specifically for this project.

It generates a three-dimensional model on which the thermal images

of each house or entire city districts are superimposed.

* unsettled music *

(man:) >3D imaging offers a major advantage.

>Not only can I view an individual facade,

but also the building's corners, ledges, eaves and roof.

>I can identify all the hotspots and thermal bridges from a single image,

and I can also rotate the view

to more easily determine the needed improvements.

The 3D analysis identifies energy losses,

the simulation software recommends the necessary improvements.

This provides valuable information to city leaders and homeowners alike.

The need for improvements is huge:

Nearly half of all buildings in Central Europe

date to the post-war decades.

In Kapfenberg, too, the focus was on building quickly and cheaply.

Today, a pilot project is underway

to test a completely new renovation method

that does not even require residents to vacate the building.

The method is being tested on an aging building dating from the 1960s.

The former energy guzzler will be turned

into a modern "plus-energy" house

that produces more energy than it consumes.

Ready-made high-tech facade elements

containing the building's entire technical systems

are being installed on the outside.

It took researchers over two years to develop the prototype.

>It's great when others acknowledge

that you have created something innovative.

The prototype will be tested on the building for six months

with continuous monitoring and optimization.

The curtain wall will envelope the old building's exterior —

heating and insulating it, and even producing electricity and hot water

from renewable resources.

>I'm convinced that this will be the future of construction.

>From planning to the building's equipment,

all we do will be based on ecological sustainability.

>If not, the future will be bleak.

>So it would be irresponsible of our profession to act otherwise.

* machine noise *

The prototype has proven successful

and the multifunctional facade can now be permanently installed.

Water pipes, power lines and thermal insulation

are integrated in the prefabricated elements.

It takes only a few weeks to complete the renovation.

The newly adapted building stands among its out-dated neighbors.

It is able to generate nearly all the energy it needs,

using the components integrated in the curtain walls and roof.

The new facade system benefits everyone:

inhabitants, owners and environment.

After two years of testing on the building in Kapfenberg,

the new system will go into series production.

Austrian know-how also provides a win-win effect

for Singapore's Changi Airport.

A hub serving over 60 million annual passengers,

it is ranked as the world's best airport for several years running.

Lighting specialists from Tyrol

have developed a unique daylight system for Changi Airport

to ensure a sense of well-being.

The key innovation is located on the roof, often unnoticed by travelers:

Movable panels are positioned above each of the 900 skylights

of the departure hall.

The panels open and shut like butterfly wings —

depending on the time of day, angle of the sun and weather situation —

to let in the right amount of natural daylight

while keeping out the heat.

Aluminum reflectors help direct the daylight

and thousands of perforated metal panels hanging from the ceiling

disperse the light to maintain perfect daylight conditions inside.

* lounge music *

Artificial lighting is only used at night.

The light management system not only ensures traveler comfort,

but also saves power for lighting and cooling,

so additional costs have been recovered in only five years.

The high-precision reflectors

efficiently and equally disperse light without blinding.

The innovative system and its Tyrolean developers

are now known around the world.

Cities occupy only two percent of the earth's surface,

but consume 75 percent of all resources.

Clearly, we must change to a more sustainable lifestyle

that consumes less energy and natural resources.

Animations show what a smart city might look like,

in this case on a futuristic walk through Graz.

* lively music *

The Styrian state capital is receiving a new landmark —

the Science Tower, which is being erected next to an event hall

on the former site of a steel plant.

The tower will stand like a sculpture in the heart of a new smart city

that will be completed piece by piece by 2024.

As its name implies,

the new Science Tower will also function as a technology laboratory.

New energy technologies are being tested on the building

and soon it will house research companies and start-ups

focusing on green technologies.

Built in the present, the tower sym- bolizes a more livable urban future,

while providing a view onto the city emerging around it

on the 400 hectare site.

* lively music *

>In Graz, there are 60,000 students attending universities,

and a number of leading international companies make their home here.

>Overall, Styria is currently the region

with the highest research and development rate in Europe.

>And I think

that's because we've been able to build a fertile environment for it.

>So, I don't think it's a coincidence

that this smart city project is happening here in Graz.

The Science Tower is an impressive new landmark

and the centerpiece of Smart City Graz,

one of several hundred urban development projects in Austria.

Funded by the Austrian Climate and Energy Fund,

the project is unique in Europe.

A metal collar installed atop the 60-meter high building

provides the supporting structure for its innovative "energy glass".

* unsettled music *

(man:) >We first looked into

what technologies might fit in the tower ten years ago,

starting with the facade.

>Well, we learned that we could use it to harvest energy

and perform energy management functions.

>So we developed a totally new glass technology

on the basis of work done by Professor Grätzel.

>It's modeled after photosynthesis,

meaning it can harvest light energy like plants do,

but the energy is converted into electricity

whereas plants use it for metabolic functions and to grow.

>The electricity is used to power the building's systems.

>Any excess can be stored or fed into the power grid.

>Once many building can do this, it will be like David vs. Goliath,

with lots of small power plants replacing the giant ones.

Two years after groundbreaking,

the tower began functioning as a small power plant.

* lively music *

At ground level, twelve 200 meter deep holes were drilled

to use geothermal energy.

Around the tower's exterior: two thin glass layers,

each only two millimeters thick.

Hardened in a salt bath at 450 degrees and laminated.

Next: ultra light photovoltaic modules which follow the sun,

circumnavigating the building every 24 hours.

They provide sun protection and produce electricity.

And at the very top the peak innovation:

revolutionary energy glass with dye-sensitized cells,

invented by the Swiss chemist Michael Grätzel.

The cells absorb sunlight via dye pigments instead of silicon

to produce electricity.

>When we began designing the building,

energy glass was purely in a research stage.

>The first Grätzel cell back then measured only one square centimeter —

great potential but much too small for a facade.

>So we didn't know if it would be ready in time.

>But we were all convinced that it was the right technology.

The cells generate electricity even in diffuse light,

with excess power fed to a microgrid.

In the near future, electric vehicles will be able

to charge their batteries at the foot of the tower.

In the meantime, the building's first occupants have moved in.

They have big plans for the highly livable, urban future

that is coming into being on the idle industrial site —

no doubt encouraged by the latest innovations in building technology.

>We considered a lot of different potential solutions.

>You could describe the process

as moving two steps forward and one step back.

>And it's not finished yet.

>Because in the years to come, the Science Tower will continue

to be used for testing and implementing new technologies.

Kodi Compendium [Part 7]: Kodi Playlists | Basic Playlists | Smart Playlists - Duration: 9:11.

Welcome to the Grok Shop and part 7

in my series the Kodi Compendium. In this

video I'll be talking about Kodi

playlists and as always I'll be providing

relevant links with more detailed

information in the description below. So,

with Kodi you've got two possible types

of playlists: you have the basic playlist

and the smart playlist. Basic playlists

(sometimes referred to as normal playlists)

are really just a flat listing of files.

There can be some metadata. Typically by

default the m3u format is used which is

the old WinAmp format which is also used

by other media players so it can be

convenient for importing playlists from

other media players but you can also use

the PLS format which I don't see very

often but it is supported. Smart

playlists are formatted in XML and

they'll have the XSP or XBMC smart

playlist file extension. Smart playlists

become possible when you're in library

mode of Kodi which means you're using a

database. they leverage the various

fields in the database and you can have

a number of rules to automatically

filter on these fields and dynamically

create playlists without having to add

items onesie twosie so there are quite

convenient type of playlists so now it's

entirely possible to manipulate your

playlist within the Kodi GUI and never

touch the files directly but I think

it's a good idea to understand them and

know where they're at sometimes there's

a lot faster to do this stuff by hand so

on linux you can see in the Kodi user

data folder is where I'm at you see the

party mode XSP that's the default party

mode playlist you can actually edit that

as well it's the only existing playlist

that ships with Kodi but it the playlist

that you create yourself will go into

one of these three folders in the

playlist folder so I'm just going to go

into the music folder here and you can

see I've got a few smart playlists in

there already so that's where you can do

your manual playlist file operations for

Mac and Linux on Windows of course it's

the same structure once you get there up

with the path to get in there in the

description below

okay so now I'll demonstrate the process

of creating some playlists so first I'll

create just a basic playlists to do that

basically the easiest way is to just

select some tracks create a in memory

playlist and then we'll convert that to

a basic playlist file so I've got

Catherine Wheel black metallic here and

what I'll do is just go and hit Q for

each one each track I want to add to my

list

I'll hit Q and then once I've got a few

in the current playlist I'll hit em and

select current playlist and that'll show

me the tracks in my playlist okay then I

hit em again and hit save and I'll just

create some random file name and you'll

see the file pop up in the Windows

Explorer or up there there we go we'll

just open that up and take a gander here

and now you can see all the tracks that

we selected that's pretty much all there

is to a basic playlist

okay so let's create one from the GUI

what if you wanted to create a playlist

by hand I'll show how to do that here

I'll just make a copy of the one I got

and just give the old one a new name and

basically Kodi will just read the

playlist as they show up you don't

really have to restart Kodi or anything

it just kind of happens automatically

and here I'll take I'll make some

changes so we can see the difference and

in this way you could bring in playlist

from other tools like winamp or foo bar

or something so let's just go to the

playlist area and take a look and see

what it finds there we can see both of

the playlist I was just working on and

there's copy which would show the

original and then there's basically I

renamed the original instead of a copy I

kind of did that backwards but anyway

you get the idea there you can see the

differences

and that's all there is to it okay so

now let's create a smart playlist this

one will be a video smart playlist so

I'll just go to videos and select

playlists and from there new smart

playlist now I'm going to select new

rule dot that dot and now I'm gonna

select the path type go and I want my

path to start with what I browse to and

then I'm just going to select my

concerts photo because I already set up

my network share so as I showed in a

previous video so that makes it easy

peasy and then I can additionally

constrain it to a certain number of

items if I want or I can set it to be

ordered by quite a number of different

criteria and there's all kinds of

possibilities here it's really cool but

I'm not gonna mess with any of that

right now just going to select okay you

can give it a title and I should see it

show up in the windows explorer over

there when I hit OK and there it is yes

so we'll just take a gander here zoom in

a little so you guys can see so yeah

it's pretty much all there is to it as

you can see it's just another text file

we could add more rules have it match

all or sum or one of the rules that you

can have a field day with it okay and we

can see it show all the concerts here so

all's good so that's a pretty simplified

example where you know I've put certain

content in certain folders and I just

wanted to pull the content that is in

those folders but you can get more

creative than that if you had all your

content and one folder for example maybe

you just want to pull out stuff for kids

and create a kid's playlist and you

could use ratings for that

you could set the type to MPAA rating

say it has to be PG I'm gonna do another

rule this is it has to be G and you can

say match any one of those and that way

you can create a playlist from the

common pool without having to worry

about sorting things by folder or

something that you might have to move

them around again later okay and here

I'm going to actually edit the party

mode smart playlist which of course is a

music playlist I've got mine set up to

include all of my music except for

classical music because let's face it

classical music isn't really party music

unless you're one of those you know but

anyway you could manually tweak this if

I decided I wanted my classical music in

here I could do it by hand and just add

another line to include that classical

folder or I could just undo this and put

it all to default because that that

would include everything anyway okay so

another good reason to be able to

manipulate the files is if you have

multiple Kodi clients you can just copy

playlists over so on the right here I've

got my media center Kodi and I want to

copy that to my local windows Kodi and

it's just drag and drop operation and

it's literally that simple we'll show

you what it looks like inside here so

pretty much I've got it set to filter by

genre so if the genre has reggae in it

it's going in the playlist and also I

have it set to random sort order let's

just go see if it showed up and there it

is beautiful so that's it for this video

guys I hope you found it helpful be sure

to stay tuned for more Kodi Compendium

videos

but as far as playlists and Kodi goes

That's how it's done.

Thanks for watching.
