Filters gone strange, can't edit them (1 Viewer)

[TheBatfink]

I think whats caused my problem was installing a newer version of streamedMP manually, but heres my problem.

When I load MP and goto moving pictures all my filters are there as I orignally set them up. But I recently noticed that "Recently Added" stopped working .. Nothing is now showing in there. When I goto moving pictures config from MP configuration, and then go to edit the filters, it doesn't represent the filters that are showing in MP currently. Its like there are two configs, one which MP is using, and another that the movingpictures config is using. If I make any changes, these don't reflect in MP either.

Does anyone know what could be causing this and how I can sort it out? I really dont want to lose my current filters as they took time to setup! Which files are the filters kept inside? If I know where to look maybe I can see if there are duplicates or something, I dont know..

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am using movingpictures 1.1.3.1251, and MP 1.1.2

You may be looking at the wrong menu. There is the categories menu that determines what is displayed on the main Moving Pictures screen (this is where you see items like Recently Added). Then there is also the filters menu that is called up via the context menu in Moving Pictures. Make sure you are editing the correct one.

Embarrassed.. Your right, its been so long since I edited it I forgot.. I was clicking modify filters instead of devine movies catagories!

On the recently added issue though, could you tell me the numbering format for the filter? Date Added / Less Than / 30 Days for example?

Thanks for your help! This Plugin is the best thing that ever happened to my movies collection

"-30d" means 30 days ago. You could also do something like "-4w" or "-1m" or "-1y". Weeks, months and years. Sorry i am headed out the door, if you need more info reply and I will post more details later. For what its worth we intend to make a much more intuitive UI for this, just something we kind of forgot about. >< Which is especially bad since this is not properly documented. Also for the record the code that converts relative values like this is here.

Hi, no worries, thats exactly what I wanted to know! I'd kinda figured it would be something like that but every time I checked the filter output all my movies filtered in.. knowing that was right I realised it should be "greater than" -time

Works great now thanks for your time.
