Items under "Genre" showing up in strange sort order
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2012 7:57 pm
In order to not have too many entries under "genre", I'd long ago decided to use values such as "Jazz, Swing" along with the base values ("Jazz", in this case). Under Twonky v4, these were treated as atomic, while v6 seems to consider them as a comma separated list, resulting in the respective titles showing up under both "Jazz" and "Swing". That is clearly a feature, in my opinion. What surprises me is, the items after the commas are listed before those from the "first half". So, I actually see two sub-lists with alphabetic sort order; that's a bit confusing.
I don't quite understand the view definitions in the XML files yet, but using the additional "sortcriteria" entry didn't seem to make a difference:
I was hoping it would give alphabetic sort order.
Any suggestions for how to get to that ?
A couple related questions:
Does a server restart include a database rebuild ?
If I create an additional view named "Test", should it show up in the drop down lists for assigning views to client devices ? (and where is the "speaking name" defined ?)
How's the translation done from e.g. "music/playlists" to "Wiedergabelisten" (german) ? Would I be able to change the terms used ?

Code: Select all
<container buildon='upnp:genre'
sortcritera='+upnp:genre'
class='object.container.genre.musicGenre' createClass='object.item.audioItem.musicTrack' />
</container>
