Recently Added Movies not updating - OopsAllBerrys - 2012-05-31
I just installed the nightly from May 30th to try out AE (which is awesome btw) but I noticed that when I updated my library, the Recently Added Movies widget on the home screen isnt updated. Furthermore, the Recently Added list under the Movies tab is not updated. If I browse through the movie list I see that the movie was added. TV Shows and Music appear to be working though they are not updated in real-time while looking at them on the home screen (they were in Eden); I have to go into a library and back out to see the updated recently added list.
I thought this may have been skin related (I use Transparency) but I reverted back to Confluence and its the same behavior. Anyone else experiencing something similar? I am using a MySQL database; I dropped the old database that Eden was using and allowed the nightly to create a new database.
Thanks.

Just noticed that this is only happening when a movie is part of a set. If a movie is not part of a set, it shows up in the recently added list.
RE: Recently Added Movies not updating - OopsAllBerrys - 2012-06-06
okay, I did more testing and finally figured it out....
The 'last modified date' on a movie file is being used to sort the recently added movies, not the date that the file was scanned into XBMC. I am assuming this is a bug?

Nope it's by design.
There will(or is) an option to change this behaviour using advancedsettings.xml
RE: Recently Added Movies not updating - OopsAllBerrys - 2012-06-07
Thanks for confirming. I looked at the code on git, and yup it looks for the modification date if it can get one. Please update if there is a new advancedsettings.xml option to change this behavior. Thanks.
RE: Recently Added Movies not updating - OopsAllBerrys - 2012-06-07
I have added the behavior to change it using advancedsettings.xml on git and submitted a pull request.

There is already a PR for this

Oh well. I tried. Thanks.

And we appreciate it - a bummer when someone else had done the work first, but hopefully you had fun/learnt something in the process

I just looked at the Advanced Settings Page and can not find the setting for this. I have movies from all the way back to 2009 showing up in my recently added list, and it is really annoying
Makes the recently added list pretty much useless. I have been using XBMC for 5 years, and this is the first time I have run across this. I just tested it on my other XBMC box, running Eden, and it sorts by the date added to the library as it should. This seems to be a new "feature" added in the May release.
Can someone please post the setting syntax here?

I did read every single post, as well as a week ago when this was posted:

"(or is) " I read to be a self correct., meaning present tense... so I thought it had been added already.
I was not asking to be sp00n fed or anything, just am not that familiar with all the terms yet. Thank you very much for the link.
For others searching, as I did to find this thread, here is what is needed in the advancedsettings.xml. the '0' will return the sorting to when added to the library, as before.
<videolibrary>
<dateadded>0</dateadded>
<recentlyaddeditems>50</recentlyaddeditems>
</videolibrary>
RE: Recently Added Movies not updating - edrikk - 2012-06-12
Just out of curiosity (along the same topic, but slightly off), can anyone confirm if the DLNA side of XBMC is correctly displaying the 'Recently Added' movies?
I strongly prefer the new XBMC way of using the modification timestamp (as it allows for the database to be rebuilt without completely destroying the recently added list), but although I see the correct videos in the XBMC GUI's recently added list, the DLNA side is not reporting any of those!
I'm running a build from May 30th (right before the June merge period) started.

Ok, I just downloaded: XBMCSetup-20120612-4c5aaa8-master.exe 12-Jun-2012 10:00
After adding the following lines to the AdvancedSettings.xml, the sort order remains the same, if I change it to 0,1 or 2.
Here are the lines that I am using to test:
<videolibrary>
<dateadded>0</dateadded>
<recentlyaddeditems>5</recentlyaddeditems>
</videolibrary>
I changed the recentlyaddeditems to 5, just so I could see that it is indeed reading the section in the advancedsettings.xml and processing it correctly. It is, as only 5 items show in the recently added list on screen.
RE: Recently Added Movies not updating - Montellese - 2012-06-12
That's because <dateadded> changes the way the date is stored in the database and not the way the sorting is done (which is not possible once a specific date has been set for an item). So if you want it to change for all your movies you'll have to remove and re-add them to your library.
