.ISO files not sorted / displayed correctly

trashbarg · 2007-12-30, 09:11

MediaPortal Version: 0.2.3.0
MediaPortal Skin: blue wide
Windows Version: XP SP2

I have all my movies in one big folder, many of them are .ISOs ripped off DVDs, playback w/ daemon-tools works fine.

the problem is that although I have specified ".ISO" in the "Movie Extensions" section, the movies are listed with the .ISO extension in 'my videos'.

what's worse, they are treated as folders rather than individual files (they show the folder icon next to them, not the movie icon); this of course messes up sorting because the .ISO-files show up before any other files. e.g. in the attached screenshot I would assume to see "A, B, C" and not "B.ISO, A, C".

cheers & happy new year

i got exactly the same thing. It shows the extention and wrong sort order. But I think they are treated like folders or something. You can solve it (well more work around) to put all movies in folder of it's own I think. Didn't try it though.

hello developers,
any chance to get a fix for this? it is a very small yet (for large # movies) very annoying bug, and with hundreds of movies the workaround proposed by OzBoz doesn't look so promising...

thanks alot for a reply, and for this cool application in general!
