Guest scokar Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Hello, Is it possible to add the release date with the version number in future changelogs? Thanks.
xnappo 1608 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Not sure why that matters, but you can find more details on the releases on Git: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser.Kodi/releases
mediaGuy 8 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 What am I missing with the new sorting? The standard Kodi sorting is greyed out for me in both Aeon NOX and Confluence.
Guest scokar Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 xnappo: nothing major, just informational. I was using kodi/mb and realized, "oooh, a new version, wonder when it came out?". if the date was there, then I wouldn't have to quit kodi, open a web browser, go to github, look for the info I need, etc etc. mediaGuy: I have the same issue, also with Titan as well.

Titan and my skin had a built in mechanism for sorting using the media browser sorting fields: Basically it calls the <onclick>XBMC.RunScript(plugin.video.xbmb3c,sortby)</onclick> But that no longer works...I guess this sortby is no longer supported?

xnappo 1608 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 Right - that is no longer supported - but now the native XBMC stuff should work..
im85288 1493 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Fair enough, I'll revert that in my skin and I presume Titan needs to do the same.
xnappo 1608 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Yeah, but @@mediaGuy said it was greyed out in Nox which has me confused.. I have only tested it with Gotham, I will test with Helix tonight. @@mediaGuy - in Aeon Nox you are going into say, 'Movies' then hitting 'Left' to select how to sort? xnappo Edited January 12, 2015 by xnappo

xnappo 1608 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 Why not use the 'Recently Added Movies' node instead?
denethor 90 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Why not use the 'Recently Added Movies' node instead?Just curious why such a basic functionality is hidden Kodi I am a Plex guy. (by the way never used it in last 2 months thanks to you guys And I know that I can increase number of listed items in "recently added"
xnappo 1608 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 Unfortunately nothing about how this thing acts is 'basic'. Getting Kodi working right through the Python API feels like trying to tune an engine with a paperclip sometimes. I will take a look.
xnappo 1608 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 So I tested this with Aeon Nox 4 (MB3 mod) and it remembers the sort setting. So must be a skin issue. 1
mediaGuy 8 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 @@mediaGuy - in Aeon Nox you are going into say, 'Movies' then hitting 'Left' to select how to sort? Not through movies - going straight into the add-in. I'd enter a list of videos, hit left, and see a greyed out sort. Sorting used to work the "non-native" way. Now that's removed and the native way is greyed out in both skins I've tried.
xnappo 1608 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 Please work with the skin owners. Sounds like im85288 has fixed it in his.

Getting Kodi working right through the Python API feels like trying to tune an engine with a paperclip sometimes. I will take a look. I was not trying underestimate anything regarding the topic. I apologize if you felt that way. I was just pointing out the feature it self as a "basic" It was not about the add-on or skin. There are tons of features you can enable/disable/customize in Kodi. But I just couldn't find a setting for Library sort options. By the way I now have a new idea, I think that sorting should be handled by Mediabrowser server as a user preferences. This way user can get same default/preferred sort option across all clients.

xnappo 1608 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Give us some time to get the native sorting working better. I reverted to native sorting because of a bug regarding keyboard access. It should be possible to get it working just as well as the server side - we just need more testing and debug. I wasn't taking offense at the 'basic' comment - I was just pointing out that I agree it 'should' be basic but there are a lot of complexities that need to be worked through.
