Are you running build 45? It contains sort/grouping options. Group by Title, Rating, Genre or Star Rating (ZapTools users only).

Well, now I am. Still I don't see anything like this in the Search Results. All I wanted was to sort the results based on air-time? like, in the picture - I would like to see when's the next CSI show?

This request is on the wiki already.....I have added a reference to this post as another request for this type of functionality.

Thanks.

I fixed a small bug....I found situations where two shows that run at different times will show up under one time grouping. I updated the zip in the original post.

Download the zip file in the other post again and load it on your system. Let me know if you find any problems.

Thanks for the update. This functionality does help. However...
I still feel it's "missing".
1) Why not allow "re-sorting" when the results are diesplayed?
2) Why only allow sorting with tree-view?
You know, like normal tables - you click on the top of the column to sort?

Also, as a partial solution, I think if it "remembered" the last selection of sorting (or allowing to select the default sort in the Config tab) it could help too.

The design of the Search feature takes in your parameters and then displays them on the results page. The results are not stored anywhere....therfore to re-sort on the result page would be just a re-execution of the search.

I'll have to look into how easy (or difficult) this will be to implement within the current design of the search.

2) Why only allow sorting with tree-view?

There was a bunch of requests for the TreeView capability so I worked on that first. TreeView lends itself to the sorting/grouping much better than the table view.

Adding sorting to the Table view can be done but frankly it will be a pain in the ass......I am sure I will get to it eventually.

Also, as a partial solution, I think if it "remembered" the last selection of sorting (or allowing to select the default sort in the Config tab) it could help too.

I will look into storing this setting in a cookie so it is easier to change....it will stay set to the last option you selected to sort.

I hope this hasn't been asked or answered somewhere else, I've looked but could not find anything.
Does the My Music folder have to be on the gbpvr pc itself or can it be a network drive? I have it set up as a network drive and whenever I go into My Music in the web admin it does not find anything... I just get the link to go back a directory ([..])

Just to be a little clearer, it has the names of the folders I set up via GB-PVR, just no music files inside...

I get the same behavior and I believe that what you said is a true statement that it must be on the same machine.

Offtopic:

Just wanted to say, that i couldn't specify my curious behavior @ firewall and EWA.
But it's not important. EWA now works great ! *great* Just watching my recordings @ work.

Thank you for this nice extension to GB-PVR !!!
