Hi folks,
i've been out of town since saturday, let's try to catch up...
Movies not showing:
This is really strange.
Basically, all i'm doing is sending a "VideoLibrary.GetMovies" with static parameters
Code:
{
"fields":
["playcount", "year", "rating", "genre", "trailer"],
"sort":
{ "method": "sorttitle", "order": "ascending", "ignorethe": true }
}
So the request itself is pretty basic stuff with very little room for errors.
So what could happen?
Two things cross my mind:
- I've set up a timeout of 2 seconds for these requests. Maybe you run into this. In this case you should see a spinning cursor for about 2 seconds when switching to the movies tab (or hitting the reload button in the options menu)
- Could be the response gets corrupted somehow (could be an encoding problem for example). Maybe it's one single movie that's messing up the response.
Could you please try to (if you don't mind)
- backup your library
- delete your video sources
- create a source with a single movie in it, scan it
- see if this shows up?
Recently Added:
This is actually a bug. Recently added in conjunction with genre filter doesn't work at all as expected
Problem with "recently added" is: If i query XBMC i "only" get the newest 25 items.
What you were seeing when the whole list was sorted in the order your movies were added was actually a list sorted by itemID. This looked like "recently added", since this ID is continuously increasing as you add items to the library. But you can't rely on this.
I'll need to redo that part in any case to fix the bug, i'll see if i can do something like "sort the first 25 items as reported by XBMC, sort the rest by id".
Picture library:
Good news everyone! I've taught the toaster to feel love!
I've started on the file browser a few days ago, and it turns out i get the picture library for free while doing that.
What i'm currently working on:
- browsing your music / video / picture sources, file based (done)
- viewing pictures on the iPad, full size, per directory (nearly done)
- starting slideshows, per directory
- slideshow controls
- starting / enqueuing video & music files
