Right now I have my server set to show 2 different entries for my videos: Date Added & By Folder
Is there any way to have it do a "Folder by date"?
For example, Select "Folder by date", it then lists all folders. Go to a sub-folder, it then lists the files in order of date added.
Any way to do this with version 4.4.x?
Is this possible?
Re: Is this possible?
In the Video tree config page, next to the Folder node should be an Add Level button. Click that and add Date as the next level.

Re: Is this possible?
I've done that, but it doesn't work correctly. It shows goes directly to showing the list of dates of files added. I never see any folders.
Re: Is this possible?
For me it does a bit of both - shows the dates for files in the top-level folder but also shows the lower level folders.
Do you have a number of separate folders for your movies? Do you list them individually on the Sharing config page?
If you list just a top-level folder on the Sharing page then you will see the lower level folders the same as I have.

Re: Is this possible?
I have my system setup like this:
root/Videos
root/Videos/Action
root/Videos/Comedy
root/Videos/TV
root/Videos/TV series 1
root/Videos/TV series 2
etc
I share the Videos folder & all subfolders under one entry.
For the entry in the Video tree, I had this:
name: Folder by date
Type: (1st level): Folder
Type: (2nd level): Date
When I go to the "Folders by Date" entry from the root of the Videos tree, I get this:
- ALL -
0000-00-00
2009-02-06
2009-02-07
2009-02-08
etc
root/Videos
root/Videos/Action
root/Videos/Comedy
root/Videos/TV
root/Videos/TV series 1
root/Videos/TV series 2
etc

Re: Is this possible?
I also just tried reversing the 2 levels (Date & Folder) in that tree. It gives the exact same results.
Re: Is this possible?
I don't get the same behaviour as you - see my earlier post.
Here's a selection of relevant INI file entries from my setup:
# contentbase
contentbase=/mnt
# Content Locations
contentdir=+M|/disk1/Music,+P|/disk1/Photos/CamediaImages/Album,+V|/disk1/Videos,+V|/usbdisk1/Videos
# Video node 1
videonode1=Folder,%PATH,%DATE
Can you compare these parameters with yours?

This is weird...
(no contentbase entry - running on Windows Home Server)
# Content Locations
contentdir=+M|D:\shares\Music,+P|D:\shares\Photos,+V|D:\shares\Videos
# Video node 3
videonode3=Folder by Date,%PATH,%DATE
I was running v4.4.9. I just updated it to 4.4.18 and see no difference whatsoever - it does the exact same thing.
