Hello @croneterer
I just saw your response on
https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/210023/plexkodiconnect-let-kodi-talk-to-your-plex/p46
If you don't mind, I start a new conversation here (It is hard to find some information in the general post)
So the original post:
Running
PMS 0.9.16.4
PKC 1.1.3
Music: after initial sync of music library, DateAdded is NOT correct:
albums seems to be added in revers alphabetic order wich is -if the crawler syncs alphabetically- indeed the same as DateAdded.
Installed fresh Kodi & plugins
I suppose this is a bug?
Kind regards,
B
and your answer:
Unfortunately, I can't fix this. Kodi has an annoying way of repeatetly updating its Music database and overwriting the values I set.
My new question here:
I remember this issue from XBMC were I posted the same issue.
They changed code so that at initial scan, the file/folder date is taken into account.
So when you do a first scan, the oldest are added first, the newest files last. In this way you could order by DateAdded (in the beginning, XBMC didn't had this field in their database schema)
This was okay for me. When building a new database, at least the order added was respected.
Maybe you can do also something like this?
I don't know the exact technical details, but maybe you can configure PKC to sync in the same order (oldest files first)
In that way, the KODI database will at least be in the same order
Thanx for looking at this again
