RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-01-05 Kodi uses the Video files Date Created, or Date Modified, and ignores the <createdate> field in the nfo. This has been a issue of contention since it's introduction in Frodo/Gotham. Date Added not working correctly Option to use folder date for recently added movies Can someone explain how the "latest Movies/TV" works now? RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - jubilex - 2015-01-05 I think I'm even more confused. When importing my library, does Kodi use the <createdate> from the nfo file as generated by MC? I thought that was strictly an MC tag for MC use. My Kodi library sort by Date Added is not even vaguely similar to the way they are organized in Media Companion (MC is the correct order), but I just realized I've got <dateadded> set to 2, which sorts by actual create/modified date, and apparently there is some bug in Helix with file modified/create times. My library sorted properly in Gotham, but in Helix they're all over the place. Others have this issue as well http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=210579&page=2 If Kodi will use MC's <createdate> tag when I import my whole library, I am fine with that. edit: Just saw vbat99's response. So there is no way to match Kodi's Date Added sort to MC's? RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - lantz69 - 2015-01-06 That was a lot of reading about how complicated a simple thing like this can be When using the sorting with Media Companion it seems like it the read the .nfo Created and Modified date and not the video file Created and Modified date like Kodi does Could you please change so the sorting "Date Added" in MC sort like Kodi does when choosing "Sort by: Date added" in the Library And if you choose to sort by "Modified" in MC it reads the modified date of the video file Thanks vbat99 for your great support (2015-01-05, 20:13)vbat99 Wrote: Kodi uses the Video files Date Created, or Date Modified, and ignores the <createdate> field in the nfo.

Now with Three options for Date Added, and the default being the most annoying. (2015-01-06, 00:07)lantz69 Wrote: That was a lot of reading about how complicated a simple thing like this can be As from first quoted message in this reply, <createdate> is the date created and added to Media Companion. We use this so user's can sort by latest added in Movie list. There is no point in listing when the movie file was created, as this is determined by so many different affects. 1. Ripped date. 2. Encoded Date. 3. Downloaded Date. 4. PC's date when saved from one media type to another, ie: NTFS to FAT, can change the Movie File's create date to date when copied. In Media Companion, You can sort by A-Z (Z-A) Year Date Added & Modified - last time nfo was updated. As well as the many filters. I think that's enough ways to sort your library.!

So with Helix, you've got <dateadded> option 1, which will use today's date as the video added date...totally wrong for existing libraries we're trying to import. Options 2 and 3 don't work correctly in Helix, they somehow end up with some weird date that in my case doesn't match the created or modified date for the video, the nfo, the folder, or anything else. So currently it seems there is no way at all to get libraries sorted properly by date in Helix, so there is no way to correctly browse the Recently Added videos; meanwhile they all have the correct <createdate> in MC but no way to get that into Kodi. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-01-06 Maybe ask Milhouse in his texturecache thread. http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=158373 He might have some ideas on getting the data corrected in helix RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - scott967 - 2015-01-07 (2015-01-05, 18:36)lantz69 Wrote: Kodi use the files createdate by default as you wrote and there the sorting by Date Added is working correctly. I'm pretty sure the default in Kodi is to use the file modification timestamp, not the creation timestamp. However, there appears to be a bug introduced in Helix when files are stored in a local NTFS file system, it seems like Helix is not getting a valid file modification timestamp and the code is instead pulling the MTF entry modification timestamp, which isn't normally shown in win32 utilities (like windows explorer) and is unlikely to have any meaning (though often it will be very close in time to file creation date, if for example, you copy a file). I can't say I have specifically tested, but haven't seen any evidence of <createddate> in an nfo affecting what is stored in the video database. scott s. . RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Wulfsige - 2015-01-09 vbat99 is there a setting to use only the YouTube trailer link from TMDB rather than the from the link from hd-trailers.net? Trying to play trailers from hd-trailers.net really sucks from my part of the world, but YouTube is great I'm using the latest build of MC, the TMDB XBMC Scraper and have set "Enable trailers from HD_Trailer.net" to "No" and enabled "Add movie trailer url to nfo file", I've noticed that some of my movies get the YouTube url, but some don't. For example "The X Files (1998)" is great Quote:<trailer>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=2Dauoy3H764</trailer>but "The Invertview (2014)" always scrapes the trailer as Quote:<trailer>http://videos.hd-trailers.net/c60716c3-adde-4afc-85ac-863d889d1315_XbOB9wsjDJl946jZ42X8-su2mL2hAiMLpwTp7o43eQYcZ8oeXsjWTvXjjR6pXBhW1nJVhhEFong-_10_0.mp4</trailer>even thought there is a YouTube link for the trailer at TMDB RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-01-09 (2015-01-04, 01:40)ztrust Wrote:[*] Added DisplayEpisode & DisplaySeason to loading and saving of episode nfo'sQuote:TV - Fix saving of edited Special episodesI just thought this meant MC wouldent deleted manually added display seasons.

I know the section of code, and know that I never put checks in place when I merged XBMC TMDB scraper into the main routine. Will see what I can do for the next release...hopefully very soon.

I'm sure this is simple and want to make sure I'm not missing something. If I wanted to rename my library and have the articles (An, The) moved to the end of the file and folder, I just check the "Move Ignored Articles to End of Sort Title" on General Preferences and Batch rename files and folders, right? Is there any way to do that for TV as well? Thanks in advance Also, still getting sporadic Fanart.tv offline message with random movies (I Origins, Let's Be Cops, Before I Go To Sleep, The Guest, to name a few). |
