Wild media server (UPnP, DLNA, HTTP)

Currently I see the CNN podcast items sorted alphabetically. Is there a way to show the latest news items at the top of the list instead of the alphabetical order?

New version with "Create Date": http://www.wildmediaserver.com/forum/vi ... 1640#p1640

I dont see the Create date populated in the table view. Is it expected to be populated. I still see the items sorted by title. I tried changing FolderItem.Sort('mpTitle/-mpCreateDate') in create podcast feed script but it didnt help.

Perhaps you are using an older version CNN

I double checked the script and it does contain your changes regarding adding the createDate but it doesnt seem to reflect in the table grid view.

What folder of CNN?

All folders of CNN. I am able to see the create date only in Comedy Central items. I am not able to see the create date in other scripts like Fox, etc either.

I think it is expecting a string type instead of date type

I added the date as a prefix to the title to fix it for now.

I also ran into this issue with the date on CNN posts, so I changed my copy of the cnnvideo.wdf script to display the date in front of the podcast (with a leading "x" to indicate old news from previous days). Now it always displays today's news first:

old code
VideoItem := WmsCreateMediaItem(sVideoLink, FolderItem.ItemID);
if (VideoItem <> nil) and SameText(VideoItem.Properties[mpiTitle], sVideoLink) then begin
VideoItem.Properties[mpiTitle] := VideoInfo.ChildValues[&apos;tease_txt&apos;];

new code
VideoItem := WmsCreateMediaItem(sVideoLink, FolderItem.ItemID);
if (VideoItem <> nil) and SameText(VideoItem.Properties[mpiTitle], sVideoLink) then begin
if WmsRegExMatch(&apos;(\d\d\d\d\/\d\d\/\d\d)&apos;, sVideoID, sCreateDate) then
if (DateToStr(GetCreateDate(sCreateDate)) = DateToStr(Now)) then
VideoItem.Properties[mpiTitle] := sCreateDate + " " + VideoInfo.ChildValues[&apos;tease_txt&apos;]
else
VideoItem.Properties[mpiTitle] := "x" + sCreateDate + " " + VideoInfo.ChildValues[&apos;tease_txt&apos;]
else
VideoItem.Properties[mpiTitle] := VideoInfo.ChildValues[&apos;tease_txt&apos;];
