OK - then the ordering must be a side-effect of Schedules Direct.
The programid seems to be composed of a showid followed by a episode
number. I understand that this convention might not be universal.
What would be nice is if UPNP could configure the secondary sort key(s).
Then a user might be able to configure the set-up to use original air date
or programid rather than title. And the config file would carry the choice
between S/W updates (currently I pull source, patch, & rebuild).
Is there a recommended way for the UPNP piece to pick up config
information?
Thanks,
