I have a question of video sorting by title. Mythvideo does not sort the
videos exactly as I wish and I found that it is due to be the way the sort
key is generated in Metadata::GenerateDefaultSortKey which is called by
VideoFilterSettings::meta_less_than.
The sortkey is generated as: QString ret(title + m.Filename() +
QString().sprintf("%.7d", m.ID()));
which essentially appends the filename and id to the video title.
I prefer the part 1,2,3 movies to be sorted in order, the above prevents
this. For example, the Mission Impossible movies are sorted as:
Mission Impossible Part III
Mission Impossible Part II
Mission Impossible
I prefer the opposite. If I remove the filename and id from the key (ie.
"return title" in GenerateDefaultSortKey) they are sorted as I wish them to
be.
Is there a reason that the filename and ID are appended? Would it be ok if
I submitted a patch to change it? If not could you suggest an alternate way
for the patch, I'd be willing to code it if you can give some guidance on
what you'd like to see.
Thanks in advance
