Sort by Director
Posted on March 15th, 2010 by admin
i love the ability to sort by genre, but to be honest, many movies fall in different genres. it would be great, and i am sure many film fans agree, to be able to sort by directors.
grabbing it's info from imdb, the director field is almost always available.
its just a suggestion, hopefully other people would agree it would be nice, and i am sure it is rather simple to add.
much appreciated. love the program and look forward future versions!
unfortunately i don't have much time available, and we were planning on redoing the whole my videos database layout so that it supported other stuff (tv shows etc) eventually anyway, thus the reason that noone has bothered doing anything such as this.
feel free to do so in the meantime - i'm sure it'll be a while till the redo occurs.
cheers,

i was referring to simple for someone familar with the layout and code of xbmc. due to fact they already have a sort option via genre which creates shortcuts as folders for the movies matching that field, it would be relatively easy to simply modify the lookup for directors and pretty much the rest of the code can be the same.
unfortunately i am not familar with xbmc code, but judging by your response i might as well get started on adding the feature and submitting the code, however that is done.
cheers,
jonathon
we look forward to you adding it.
