If you are creative and knowlegable enough you could probably create a windows scheduled task to run a program to look at all of your movies, sort by date, take the 1st one or X many of filenames and automatically create a playlist file.
I think this is possible with some patience and testing, but it might be a better option than using the media library.
I myself, just create a folder for new movies and move them to it then move them back to their normal location when I don’t want them there anymore. I’m always managing my movies, because I encode new one about every 2 weeks to a month. Moving files within the same hard drive is an easy and painless task as opposed to copying them from hard drive to hard drive.
