MediaPortal Configuration > General > Set Log Verbosity to "Debug"
Then perform the actions where the trouble arises. Afterwards go to your log folder and attach both the medialportal.log and mvCentral.log (mvCentral.log always being the more important of the two).
When do you think that sort-by function is released?
Currently I'm adding my clips to the database and I don't know if it's better to change the names (for example The Cranberries into Cranberries, The). With the result, that the parser not working right, but the order works fine.
One bug I've found in the last version (1.0.0.267). By adding albums like 'Greatest Hits', the last added interpret were sorted under the first interpret in database that have a 'Greatest Hits'-album. Ohh it's difficult to explain...
In my database the first Greatest Hits album is from blink-182. When I'm adding now a clip of the Greatest Hits album from Lenny Kravitz, this clip were found under the Greatest Hits album of blink-182.
I have 2 main sections outstanding - sorting and DVD import, there a few other things categories for one. Of these DVD is the most challanging as requires a decent sort of data which I am struggling to find currently.
I will look at the sorting next - there is likley to be an update release in a couple of weeks and some bugs were found in the latest release and also tweaked a few parts - after that will get on to sorting.
As per my PM last week I installed the latest version on my HTPC and tried updating to see if it would add the videos which it could "see" previously but wouldn't add. It didn't work (same result as previously noted) so I deleted the database and rescanned, with some strange results - some files which were previously recognised and added without a problem now show up as having no artist, yet the correct artist biography shows up in the gui I'm posting this from my client as the HTPC is being used by family at the moment mad: ) so I'll try to grab some screenshots in the morning and post them (if I wake up in time before I have to go and do other stuff..)
