Are the existing ones listed? Martin and sub have given me a could (the recording= and channel= ) But I also saw martin put some filtering in filtered on ready. I wouldn't mind knowing if I can control the sort order from the recording call.

I want to make a simple what's new view for the plex plugin (date descending, for x days)
then later on I might try a ready recordings type view.

What do you mean? Do you mean any documentation on them - no. I used them in the xbmc plugin, which is why people have known about them, and this plugin provides a pretty good example of how to use the calls. ie, initiating a session, querying the ready/pending recording lists etc.

You cant currently. You can ask for "filter=all", "filter=pending" or "filter=ready" but that's about it. You can't ask for it to be ordered a certain way, or for only x days. I'd always considered this a UI thing, rather than a data thing.

I think that's supposed to be "You can't..."

Sorry - correct. Fixed.

By this plugin you mean the xbmc one?

What do I have to add for sort order?

NEWA - WS provides those bells and whistles. Not sure it's necessary your Plex server should have more than enough power to sort.

Yes, I mean the xbmc addon.

What do I have to add for sort order?

As mentioned, you can't currently. I could try to add a sort= parameter for the next release if you really needed it. I suspect it'd be easier for you to just do this in your own UI (since you won't have to wait for the next release).
