That playlist suggestion is a good workaround.

The Recently Added function of XBMC on the other hand doesn't work properly for movies due to a change in Frodo. It uses the file creation or modification date (cant remember which), not the date added to XBMC. For a lot of people that may be fine, but for some of us, it leads to wildly incorrect sorting order when using Recently Added.

The advancedsetting tag I described causes XBMC to use the pre-Frodo behaviour (and the same behaviour that is still used for tvshows), so that Recently Added widgets, and the Recently Added video nodes all work properly and show the same list..

Good info - thanks!

There's a way to get movies to sort by date added.

In your userdata file, create a text file named advancedsettings.xml, and enter this:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
    <videolibrary>
        <dateadded>0</dateadded>
    </videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>

This will only apply to movies added after you apply this fix, so if you care about the ones you've already added, you'll need to remove them and re-add them.

Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, after adding my settings I can set aeon to sort by date added and get a true date added sort rather than file creation date? Or is there something else I need to do to access this sort?

Edit: along the same line, is there some way to view "Recently Added" maybe for the last 30 days? Or something similar. I would like to be able to set something like a new movies sub category.

Yes, once you do that, and rescan your movies, it will be a true sort by date added.
Most skins have a Recently Added node, which will show this.

To view Recently Added for the last 30 days, create a smart playlist.
Add the rule: dateadded, condition: inthelast 30.

Or create an text file named something like DateAdded.xsp in your userdata/playlists/video folder, with this content:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>Date Added</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="dateadded" operator="inthelast">
        <value>10</value>
    </rule>
</smartplaylist>

If you create it in XBMC, you'll get the file above. You might want to add a sort by date rule at the end.

I know this whole playlist discussion is way off topic. But one more question, where will the smart playlists be displayed in Aeon Nox? Can I set them up to show in the home menu or maybe as a sub menu in "Movies"? I've been spending most of my free time trying to get all my videos added and haven't been able to explore much in the way of customization.

[MeMeMe]

How to customize Aeon Nox would lead to a lengthy response. It's very customizable. You'd be better off asking in Aeon Nox forum.
Quickly though - yes, you can do both: set playlists up as submenus under Movies, or as their own entry on the home screen (and then give them submenus of their own).

Thanks for the help. This definatly sounds like the way to go. I just need to do a little research. I'm sure there are some "how to" guides.

Can someone tell me what 'data' needs to exist so that I can scrobble a PVR recording? All I get in the log is Non-library file, not enough data for scrobbling, skipping. As they are Live TV recordings then its not using a library. I tried sticking an NFO file in the folder but that didn't have any effect.

Add video source picking PVR, then scrape it. successfully scrapped recordings makes trakt plugin happy

I'm prepping to release 2.3.1 which has nate's last round of updates. You see the full update from nate's commit at https://github.com/rectifyer/script.trak...2451441574

Please grab the latest zip to test it out at https://github.com/rectifyer/script.trakt

Here is one..:

I would looooove to see "a page" in the main menu , like widgets...
Showing what my friends are watching/watched

What i watched and stuf..

In fact there are some apps doing this... For now i use utrakt on ipad... But it would rock if you could do this inside xbmc.. So we wont have to grab a phone/ipad to see this..

Is this considerable?

Its probably possible to create a widget with this information.

Any plans for this? trakt.tv widgets..

[fernandovg]

nate, is it possible to create a manual library update for tv-shows and another to movies?

Something like:
script.trakt,action=shows-update
script.trakt,action=movies-update
script.trakt,action=full-update - this one I guess it already exists but I can remember the "name"

I have a script that updates the xbmc library when a there's a new tv-show or movie.
90% of the time is tv-shows. So I want to disable the trakt addon to auto sync when xbmc library gets updated and do a manual sync based on tv-shows or movies new files

Thanks!

My plugin is not scrobbling, what can I do to debug this? I looked in my xbmc.log, nothing there really.

I'd tried adding the recordings into the library but can't pick a type of TV Series and don't have a PVR type?

Post your log, can't be of much help otherwise.

Nate, did you see my post 3 messages ago? What do you think?
