Hi Deda,

I think something in my installation must have got screwed up but no idea what. Anyway, a complete uninstall and then installation of this branch plus fresh DB build and my media info icons are back . Thanks for the heads up.

One other thing I'm having a problem with ATM is the new "Use Sort title" option. I tried testing it with the LotR's trilogy. I ticked the "Use Sort title" box and set the sort titles for each movie as follows;-

Lord of the Rings 1 > Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The
Lord of the Rings 2 > Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The
Lord of the Rings 3 > Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The

But when I checked in the GUI the titles were still showing in the wrong order

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The

Went back into MP configuration and the "Use Sort title" box was unchecked so I re-checked it, tested again with the same result. Went back into MP configuration and sure enough the check box was blank again!

Any ideas mate? Would logs help here?

Cheers,

Mick.

Y I know what is happening (probably). It's the problem that I need to disable for share view sorting on sorttitle so I temporary disable that setting in GUIVideoFiles.cs (it will be set back to original on share view exit) but it looks like that MP loads that on start without opening screen so you end up in Titles (if it is open first) with setting disabled.

Just need to check that theory and fix will be easy.

Y, it was that. Update you local branch and try again (all latest fixes are inside + using internal nfo scraper option -> just be aware if you enable that option, all movie info scraping and refresh will be done by nfo file, also saving movie data in config will create nfo file, also it will overwrite old one if it exists, Update database in config will use Scan tagged folders to import movies but only those with nfo file, Lookup button in config will import nfo file for selected movie).

Actors are still free and will be refreshed/updated from IMDB (also covers and fanarts).

P.S. Hugh, what huge new wiki I will need to write for all of these....

Hi Deda,
i can't believe: you implemented my suggestions in V5 - in less then 24 hours... RESPECT!!

I don't dare to ask - but i've another idea for improvement:

In the folder settings, you can configure a folder as an FTP-Folder: Therefor you configure ipadress, port, user, pass, etc. In my opinion, it would be a great improvement of MediaPortal to have an option to configure a folder as a netshare-folder with a "wake-on-lan" feature. If you access data from this folder the mepo shoud sends a magic-packet to the corresponding mac-adress.

I know, this should be a general feature for folder setting and you may discuss this idea with other developers - but hey: "You are my hero" - and now you have the chance to become a "Superhero".

- Thx Schaeklovic

And after, add NFO read directly on Folder. when option movie are in own folder is checked. with support of play button on folder

I'll just be leaving now...

It's good idea but it's little bit far away from MyVideos , all shares are set-upped in Core of MP. Maybe I can do that within myVids but it will be only partial solution because other shares deserves the same treatment then .

That's what i suspected with "I know, this should be a general feature for folder setting and you may discuss this idea with other developers".

Hmm - any chance to discuss this improvement in an other "more global" thread? Is there a thread for feature-requests?

Thx - Schaeklovic
