MovingPictures 1.8.4 [Support for MP 1.23+] [2020-01-26] (5 Viewers)

[kiwijunglist]

I noticed another change from 1.8.1.0 to 1.8.2.0: in sorting the movies prefixes like "A" and "The" are ignored and so The Mummy is being placed under the "M". This only seems to work with NEW imports. I have two questions:

1. Is this correct, as there is no documentation about it?
2. Is this a setting that can be changed? Or is it built-in?

Thanks.

The sorting by ignoring the prefix is not a recent feature it has been around for quite a while.

From memory I think there is an option under advanced settings.

@kiwijunglist: Thanks for your reply. I tried to find the option under advanced settings, but didn't. Do you mean a setting is Moving Pictures or in the general Mediaportal Configuration?
After some research, I found Moving Pictures is using the "sort by" field (obviously) and that field can be updated using an option in the advanced tools in Moving Pictures (gear wheel).

ahh soo you got it going the way you want now, and don't need anymore help.

 

[fredco]

Well, sort of. I'm still looking for the option you mentioned under advanced settings to change this behaviour.

Its in Advanced Settings under the title "Sorting" and its called "Remove Title Articles" i.e. 'the', 'a', etc.

Found it! Thanks. But it's quite hidden away and because of the warning I've never used it before.

Moving pictures doesn't find any matches for recently added movies. Any trouble with IMDb?

Works fine for me, even for movies added yesterday, but I rely on the IMDb+ plugin obviously, since that's mine

@ltfearme: As a longtime user of Moving Pictures (and a very satisfied one) I was hoping it was time to have some visual support for UHD movies. I mean, it would be nice to see a logo for 4K content and for the new audio formats like Dolby Atmos. I have collected almost 200 4K movies, but they look a little pale without the proper visual support, don't you agree?

@fredco, that should all work fine, but your skin might need added support. I've shared the 4K and corresponding audio codec images before.

Think I still use the images from this post from last year -- HEVC Video, DTSX, ATMOS, DD+ Audio Codecs -- but would have to check to confirm. The respective skin changes are referenced a few posts before those in the same thread (I use Titan myself).
