Recently Added View?

[wrems]

I think a view for the recently added content would be a nice addition as a default view for BMT's webgui.

Well, I decided to create one for my use. Here’s the code if anyone is interested in a BMT view of recently added movies sans home videos:

<!DOCTYPE vfs SYSTEM "vfs.dtd">
<vfs>
      <views>
            <view name="wr_recently_added" label="WR Recently Added Movies">
                  <description>wr Recently Added Movies</description>
                  <tag value="video" />
                  <view-source name="recentmovies"/>
                  <filter by="homevideos">
                        <option name="scope" value="exclude"/>
                  </filter>
            </view>
      </views>
</vfs>

Can you repeat where to add the file? (userdata/?)

Userdata>Phoenix>VFS

Then create a new document and paste the code into it. Name it anything as long as it ends with .xml.

However, there's a problem with the above code... It worked at first and now it doesn't. It needs to be fixed. I not too good at it so if you or anyone can accomplish getting the recently added that would make me happy at least.

Thanks, I found the place the put it.
However it does not work, because it is missing the definition of the source: recentmovies.

Maybe this is in the vfs.xml? Is it an expression?

Ok, I got back to working through this one. Here is the code:

<!DOCTYPE vfs SYSTEM "vfs.dtd">
<vfs>
      <views>
            <view name="wr_recently_added" label="WR Recently Added Movies">
                  <description>Recently Added Movies</description>
                  <view-source name="videos" >
                        <filter by="homevideos">
                              <option name="scope" value="exclude"/>
                        </filter>
                  </view-source>
                  <presentation>
                        <sort by="recentactivity">
                              <option name="sort-order" value="desc"/>
                        </sort>
                  </presentation>
            </view>
      </views>
</vfs>

This version works well. It is only Movies. No TV and no home videos.

My above view I realized wasn't populating BD's and it was only for movies. I like the view I just created a bit better. It groups all the import paths one has and then sorts each folder by most recent additions. So you can drill into more than just your movies folders to see new content.

<!DOCTYPE vfs SYSTEM "vfs.dtd">
<vfs>
      <views>
            <view name="wr_recently_added_imports" label="WR Recently Added Imports" flat="false">
                  <option name="children-only" value="true"/>
                  <description>Show recently added content in each of the combined import paths</description>
                  <tag value="video"/>
                  <view-source name="sagevideoimportsv7"/>
                  <presentation>
                        <sort by="recentactivity">
                              <option name="sort-order" value="desc"/>
                        </sort>
                  </presentation>
            </view>
      </views>
</vfs>
