yes, ok I just wanted to note
on screen 02 you have on the right in the menu "search artist" then "search title" would have to be added.

Hmmm andrewjswan/mvcentral no code for Sorting at all, only by name Asc and Desc

 

[mrbonsen]

then we lost
up to now there was no problem with the sorting, only title search and "artist - title" (= filename) sorting would be a nice feature

I’m not good at Moving Pictures code, I need to look, if I understand how easy it is to do it, I’ll do it, if not, then I need to look for someone who understands this.

I'm running mvCentral as follows (skin fly-out menu):

• Layout = List
• Sort = Name Ascending, but whenever I select another option I get error "Sorting is still in development"
• View By = View as DVDs

This results in a view that on the left-side of the selected item shows thumbnail/media-info with a short info blurb, and on the right-side it shows the library as "Track - Artist" in a two-column list.

And in case it matters, these are the "Advanced settings":

• Interface Options > Default View = 0
• Interface Options > Default Playlist View = lastused
• Interface Options > Default View As = 6
• Interface Options > View-AS = 2
• Interface Options > Click Shows Details = TRUE
• Interface Options > Default Sort Field = Title
• Interface Options > Allow Grouping = FALSE
• Filtering > Enable Categories = TRUE

Obviously the "Sorting is still in development" part is the real issue and would solve my dilemma, but figured swapping the values of the two columns would be a quick-and-dirty fix for the time being if that is indeed a super huge effort to build a universal sort system.

Murphy Law just won't leave me along, as now I've noticed the info bubble on playing next-song flashes by versus the 8000ms I have it configured (5s default). Modified the skin to force showing it always by editing "mvCentral.PlayStart.xml" line #18 from:

<visible>!window.isosdvisible+!window.ispauseosdvisible+string.equals(#mvCentral.Play.Started,true)</visible>

into: <visible>true</visible>

And it indeed is always visible, but only when I pause the video or activate OSD. Clearly with the normal skin visible conditions set to not show it when OSD is visible, or video is paused that explains the "flash", but I'm totally lost as to why forcing it to true does not show it "always".

What's the best way to debug this?

PS: This always worked in the past, but I've updated MediaPortal many times, and also mvCentral now, so no idea when it stopped working as I haven't used mvCentral in a while.

Thanks, i try to look...

mvCentral only manages its property #mvCentral.Play.Started, sets its value to true or false. Everything else is done by the Media Portal. Perhaps this somehow depends on the playback method (MadVr or ...) or something else.

This Plugin is an evolution of 'My Music Videos' by metalla_nz and is designed to catalog and display all your Music Videos, it is based around code from Moving Pictures and TvSeries and I would like to thank the developers for allowing use of their code. The Plugin uses last.fm as the primary and Discorgs as secondary source for matching, additional providers will be added in due course.

maybe someone from this team can help

mvCentral = old MovingPictures ... If I understood the MovingPictures code well, I would just take the current MovingPictures code and remake it to Music Video. In theory, the difference is only in the grabber and a little in the organization of the database.
But I don’t understand it, so for me it is very time-consuming and expensive, especially since I almost never use this plugin. Perhaps need to think and add the functionality of this plugin to My Music, but for now this is just as an idea.
