Hi all, There are times I've had to rename the avi and fxd files (and revise the contents of the fxd so it points to the renamed avi) of certain recordings due to errors in the TV guide or if I want to archive a recording to a network drive that does not allow the colon character in filenames (recordings made prior to availability of TV_RECORDFILE_OKLETTERS). Unfortunately, this updates the date/timestamp of the renamed/updated files so it no longer displays in the original recording date/time sequence in Freevo; instead, it shows up at the bottom of list as if it were the newest recording. I've tried using touch to set the date/timestamp back to the original value, but it seems Freevo is using ctime instead of atime/mtime for date sorting.
As an alternative, I tried changing DIRECTORY_SORT_BY_DATE = 0 to sort by filename instead of date. Since I use the default TV_RECORDFILE_MASK = '%%m-%%d %%H:%%M %(progname)s - %(title)s', I figured this would allow the programs to sort by record date/time sequence since mm-dd_HH_MM are the high end of the filenames themselves. However, it appears Freevo is using the <movie title> in the fxd files for sorting and, since all program episodes in a TV series have the same <movie title>, the sort order is a bit unpredictable. I've tried enabling and disabling DIRECTORY_SMART_SORT, but the results are the same; namely, programs are sorted by <movie title> instead of filename. Am I missing some other option or is the comment in local_conf.py incorrect when it says setting DIRECTORY_SORT_BY_DATE = 0 means "No, always sort by filename"? I'm running Freevo 1.6.3.
