Order Movies by Created Date

Post by gixx79 »

Hello, i am using "Wild Media Server (UPnP) v1.03"

I would like to know how can i order my movies in "created date" order.

Preferably in a new section.

So that by entering that new section, i get all movies listed where on the top, the latest video file downloaded or recorded is shown.

Its a pain to have to browse through all list looking for new files.

is this done via a "script" ?? i need a little help please.

thanks a lot. this will make my father so happy !!! :)

btw. its to use it with WD TV Live.

Doesn't work here either. The order is correct on the wms, but on my PS3 all the files look random. Not even alphabetical :)

As u can see, the newest podcast is on top (confirmed by the current web rss)

I tried to change the script on gametrailers.wdf so that it would grap the posted or original created date and sort by that, but failed miserably :)

I use v1.05rc4 of wms

Hi!

I had so shift-left click to get both of the arrows selected and sorted, but no difference on the PS3 listing.
The podcast folders (Preview, interview, feature etc) are listed alphabetical. The podcast movies are random or the PS3 sorts in its own way when all the dates are alike. It's not listed like in WMS. But all new movies (with newer date) is listed on top.

Is there any way in the script to retrieve the "posted date" or original created date?

In gametrailers script: VideoItem.Properties[mpiCreateDate] := Now; Could it be set to posted/created date from podcast instead?
I tried VideoItem.Properties[mpiCreateDate] := ''; It sorted correctly in WMS, but PS3 used alphabetical listing. Probably because there was no date tag/info.

If I create a ordinary rss podcast from gametrailers (no script), the (posted/created) dates appear and listing are correct. Can't play them ofc. That's what the script is for :)

Example RSS, no script:

Question is, how do we get those dates(formatted) from the gametrailers script?
