Thanks. catType isn't populated in 0.24.1 either. I noticed that the programid and seriesid values are very different to the sorts I've seen as well.

I'll check the algorithm for determining TV vs Movies and see if there is anything better that can be done based on that data and what I have.

If anyone else could post the output of http://192.168.1.3:6544/Myth/GetRecorded (replace IP address as appropriate for the MythTV server) that would be useful.

i dont think it is working properly for me.

I have the parent folders for tv shows and a movies folder, however there are no movies in the movie folder. all the movies are in their own folder as if they are a single episode of a tv show.

it is nice to have all the episodes grouped then you can watch a whole season of something without searching through months of recordings to find what you want, but it would also be nice to have the option to sort by date then you can have a quick look at the latest things you have recorded.


if i can send you and debug data, please let me know.

Thanks,

Dan

I've fixed the issue you were having. https://github.com/dteirney/xbmc/tree/pvr

Unfortunately the decision on whether Movie or TV Show will just be based on duration. >90 minutes == movie.

I think I'll make a change so I can query the database to get the category type since it's not being returned in the MythXML response for either 0.23 or 0.24.

Let me know if it works any better with the latest changes.

What's the latest status of this issue? I tried TSP's branch and still see MythTC recordings all in one big list. Did this ever get resolved?

Well this branch has been discontinued, so you're not likely to get much love here...

I've asked tsp this question already in his thread and I got: "it's on my to-do list". But, he's got other things on his to-do list first, so it may be a while.....

Should be fixed now in my branch
