hi,

Running ML with frodo beta 3.
Movie Library seems to be broken when sorting on date added. It also affects Recently Added list on the main screen/skin.
This used to work, but now for some reason "date" is taken by the time stamp of the actual file and not when it was added to library.

Example:
-Todays date - 2012-12-08
-Obtain movie where timestamp on the MKV file is lets say 2010-10-05
-Movie is put into Video folder
-Library scan finds it and downloads relevant information (plot, images etc)
-Movie filter, "Sort by" is set to Date added
-Movie is displayed as being added 2010-10-05



Known issue or?

You can switch this behaviour in the settings somewhere iirc (video->library or thereabout).

I think to switch it back is something in advancedsettings.xml (wiki).

Awsome thanks for that following did the trick
<dateadded>2</dateadded> <!-- 0 results in using the current datetime when adding a video;
1 (default) results in prefering to use the files mtime (if it's valid) and only using the file's ctime if the mtime isn't valid;
2 results in using the newer datetime of the file's mtime and ctime -->

(setting it to 0)

Not sure why this got changed to begin with. It is library and date added is date you add content to it. Missleading var name imho.
Ah well it works now so

Because of huge demand from the userbase ... what else?

There are people who redo their DBs (mostly users which use nightly builds and test stuff for us). They had the problem that the order of their recently added mirrored the scraping order instead of the real order of appearance. Thats why the mtime was added (and it makes live for us devs easier too because we redo our DB alot and are also wanting to use XBMC productive sometimes). MTime always gives you the same order then. That was the point.
