Req Recently added items based on mtime or atime
#1
Hi there,
I noticed that in Frodo the recently added items are based on file date and not on the date it was added to the library. To me that is ok: when I rescan for any reason my library, recently added items are not messed up. I have xbmc 12.2 on win7 64 bit system and my files are on a NAS running linux, shared through a NFS file system.When I add a new item to the library I always "touch" them, in order to properly set the date in its properties. Sometime I would like to set the date of the file in the past (e.g. when I re-encode a poorly encoded file that is already in my library), so it does not show up in the recently added. The point is that "touch" can set to a past date only mtime and atime, not the ctime and xbmc uses ctime to set the added date in its database. So my request is to use mtime or atime instead of ctime.
Thanks.

See the <dateadded> entry in the advancedsettings.xml

From the wiki -

<dateadded>2</dateadded>
0 results in using the current datetime when adding a video;
1 (default) results in prefering to use the files mtime (if it's valid) and only using the file's ctime if the mtime isn't valid;
2 results in using the newer datetime of the file's mtime and ctime
