So somehow I don't get it with the intelligent playlist. If I want to start it, do I need something in the library?? I don't even get that.
How to create a playlist?

Well, I can read. But being able to read doesn't necessarily mean understanding.

You can ask questions about details. That's why we are here.

Okay. How do I start an intelligent playlist if I don't have any songs in the library but only streams from SoundCloud??? I can't seem to figure that out?

Okay. But I really can't figure that out. I can't seem to get it into my head. I have no idea why, but it's not plausible to me. Thanks anyway. I'll run Liber into the wall a few times. Maybe that will help more...

Maybe a video will help.

That's nice, but unfortunately it doesn't help me. I don't have any music files. I only have SoundCloud, and that's not shown in the video. Everything's fine. It's not meant to be. Thanks anyway.

Have you seen this.

Read: https://kodi.wiki/view/Internet_video_and_audio_streams
Create .strm files for each Soundcloud URL that you want to use as media. Kodi treats these like a media file with no metadata.
Create .nfo files for each .strm file. This is required. It also provides a way to add metadata, e.g. pretty names, if wanted.
Scrape the .nfo files to the Library.
Add Library items to a playlist.
Do something with the playlist, like script it being started 20 seconds after Kodi starts (how you do that is .. Google'able).
Plan B .. get a Raspberry Pi and use one of the many good niche distros or RPiOS installable apps/containers designed for "signage" use-cases, as that appears to be the end goal and something Kodi is not really designed for.

Yes, I actually overlooked that while skimming the instructions. Or I'm just too tired to organize the information clearly. I'm still using a Raspberry Pi at the moment, but the NVME is gone, and then the 5 is back. Okay. Sounds tricky, but I'll take a look. So please don't close it so quickly? if you have any further questions?
