Hello,

I use PLEX and now is trying this Media Manager.
Is a very good piece of software, i'd like to use it.

I downloaded a connector named XBMCnfoMoviesImporter,
but the title in PLEX are sorted in very awful mode (only the english
articles are automatically stripped from the begin of the name).

I can't mod PLEX because is not open source, or almost I haven't found
a source code to download.

I found a solution, that is set the sort name in every .nfo files, if the Movie
object don't have a fetched sortname, i set the sortable one.
With the Media Portal connector I saw that works in this way.
I don't know why this behavior is different in XBMC.

Anyway I have solved my problem changing the file MovieToXbmcNfoConnector.java,
[around line 395, in this way:

xbmc.sorttitle = movie.getSortTitle();
if (StringUtils.isBlank(xbmc.sorttitle)) {
xbmc.sorttitle = movie.getTitleSortable();
}

The problem is that I don't know very good ant and mvn, and I don't know how
to set a build number, in order to not receive the "a new update is available"
when I launch my modified version of TMM.

I suppose that also other not english people have the same problem for PLEX,
a good feature should be have my modification merged in tmm, and, if for
some reason this is incompatible with XBMC (that I don't know what is it ),
it can be set configurable in the configuration panel.

I know that my english is terrible, I hope to explained in reasonable way the
situation.

Thanks for the attention and congratulation for the good software you
have made.

Marco.

thanks for that input.
We've already better PLEX support on our ToDo list, but at the moment there is not enough manpower to implement it (tmm is already eating too much spare time).

btw: if you modify your tmm copy, you should not receive updates from our update server, or your modifications will be overwritten with the next update

I saved the patch file, just I will download the code and apply it

In any case I guess that the best solution should be create another connector for
PLEX, a class derived from the XBMC one, I don't know.

Anyway I donated 30€, can u add me as donator ?

I've just had a look at this issue

I would not integrate that in the (old) XBMC connector; I'd rather add an bulk editing option to copy our "sorted/UI title" into the sorttitle. Would that help you?
