Im starting to notice in my collection now that its "425" movies when using filtering and numpad remotes. I have it disabled so that it doesnt remove the movies from the list but instead skips to that leter in the list. One problem with doing that when a movie is sorted its sorted by using the sort name. Examples are below:

other Boleyn girl, the
terminator, the
Empress and the Warriors, An


When using the filter option and numberpad on the remote pressing the number "8" which corrosponds to the letter T instead of jumping to the TUV etc etc it jumps to the first movie in the list with t, same with any other movie title which has the word after the coma, an example is below.

a bugs life
batman and robin
ant bully, the
chicken little
terminator


When pressing 8/T it now will instead of jumping to Terminator like it should since the list is sorted that way. it jumps to the first title as its read instead of sorted "ant bully, The" I hope I am able to explain this problem well enough you can understand it fforde its kind of late.

    I think the default remote control implementation doesn't use the sorted title.

    Try the following:

    1) Enable Remote Control Filtering again in the MediaPortal Configuration -> Moving Pictures
    2) Start MediaPortal and go to the moving pictures movie list
    3) Press "0" on the remote, this will activate the letter jump feature
    4) Press 8/T again to check wether it will jump correctly

    It filters movies containing the letter.
    If you want to have it start with that letter, you will have to press 0 (zero) first. It will then use the cell mobile number pad style.
    pressing 0 8 will in turn filter movies starting with T or U or V or 8

    Edit: damn, I have to remember to refresh after walking away... What Armandp said ;)
