New Update Teaser ?

Thanks for the new update (5.2.6.220206) today. It great that you continue to update this application and I really appreciate it. However when you put a teaser like:

"Added settings in config.xml to allow the recordings screen A-Z sort to ignore certain prefixes like "the"."

It would also be helpful to know how to actually use it :-)

Regards.

Here is how sub described the new config.xml settings in testing. It uses a regex to be multi language aware so if you have questions let us know but these two will be the most common.

default sort:
<SortExpression></SortExpression>

THE excluded
<SortExpression>^(?:The)\s*</SortExpression>

A, THE excluded
<SortExpression>^(?:A|The)\s*</SortExpression>

(ignores case)

I had to add a space after the "A" to get it to sort correctly.  It was ignoring the initial "A" for programs that had first words that started with an A, like "Abbot Elementary" was sorted as if it were "bbot Elementary".

I changed it from:

Code:

<SortExpression>^(?:A|The)\s*</SortExpression>

to:

Code:

<SortExpression>^(?:A |The)\s*</SortExpression>

Your right the regex is wrong since the * will allow zero matches, not great for The either so the should be a +

The excluded
<SortExpression>^(?:The)\s+</SortExpression>

A, The excluded
<SortExpression>^(?:A|The)\s+</SortExpression>

That's true.

Is this another option that only works in the Client app (in my case nlite) but not in the Web App ? If this is the case please can you indicate in future release notes which version (client ui / web app / both) any new feature is available in so I don't go chasing something I can't use - I use the web app exclusively (except when checking something like this out!).

Thanks

Sorry, I usually do try to say if something is web app or nextpvr.exe specific. I just forgot to in this particular case.

This change is nextpvr / UI client specific.

The be fair to sub in your first post you didn't ask either, or my response would have been different.
