Re : Re: Re : Re: Re : Music Section gets some TLC

To create an album by date view you can create a view like this
album | sort by date desc
tracks | sort by track

If you do this type of view, you get a date sorting by album released date (year IDTag parameter) and not by database adding data. I think it could be a good think to have the two parameters in th future to avoid confusion!

In 1.2 you can use parameters to open up music plugin. This means that (dependent on skin) you can set a link to open music at the same view each time.

Good news! I'll wait for 1.2 Beta :D

    In that case this is one of the things I fixed in 1.2 :)
    There is now certainly a date and a year sort by option. Year will sort by year ID3 tag and date will sort by date added to database

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

I have also retired very early SD units, the Quatros seem to work much better than the older units. Go to SD's support website and download and install the windows...

Trakt website shows that episode as watched, but in onlinevideos (where i watched that episode) it still is not flagged as watched. The watched.json doesn't contain that episode but i think it...
