How about rar archives?

The file inside the rar archive has creation and modification time set to when the file where zipped or ripped (not when it was downloaded). Do it check the dates from the rar files or the file inside the archive? If it checks the file in the archive, then the result will be like for Jezz_X, "old new" stuff will never appear on the recently added list.

Not sure, my guess is it'll do the file inside the rar - check and see.

I agree with adding a max() in there but as I'm on holiday till April 12th you'll either have to wait for me getting back or someone else will need to add/fix that. Concerning stacked and archived files I got no clue. I assume(d) that their implementation of Stat work correctly but there's always a chance that they don't. I neither have/use stacked nor archived files so I won't be able to test those.

Hey,

Will this new <dateadded> value be imported from local nfo files? If so, what is the tag in the nfo (assuming <dateadded>) and format of the date that would need to be populated for the tag?

Take Care

Yes <dateadded> is being read from NFOs. The correct format is
Code:
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

Thank you very much, will look forward to this as it will improve the WAF as the dateadded will remain constant in the info even if the filename/location changes and is re-imported into XBMC!

So this field going to be in 24-hour format (as shown below) would get imported correctly into XBMC:

Code:
<dateadded>2012-04-12 14:20:50</dateadded>

and doesn't require it to be in xsd:datetime format

Code:
<dateadded>2012-04-12T14:20:50</dateadded>

Take Care

Correct that's the format we use for storing datetime values in the database.

You do realize that this feature has just been added to XBMC a few days ago right? So it's not yet available in any nightly build (unless you compile the code yourself). How do you expect Media Companion to make use of it if it isn't even really available yet? Furthermore that would imply that Media Companion is extended to match XBMC's new features within a couple of days which I highly doubt (wouldn't make any sense IMO).
