| Summary | 0007878: Podcasts listed out of order | ||||
| Description | When Podcasts are shared over UPnP, they are listed out of order, and there doesn't appear to be any way of listing them in the correct order: In MM > Podcast > Subscriptions: Podcasts are listed in reverse order of publication In MM > Podcast > Artist > <Artist> : Podcasts are listed in whatever sort order the user chooses (and that sort order persists) In WMP UPnP client > Music : Podcasts are listed based on a sort order that's independent of the sort order in the MM server, and since 'Added' field isn't available, there's no way to sort in the desired order. I'm not sure if this is fixable. | ||||
| Additional Information | Reported at: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=56051 Note: the screenshots in that report should not be examined literally. The user just used them to illustrate the sort order that their UPnP client displays when browsing the MM server. | ||||

WMP is kind of specific, unlike all the others clients it doesn't respect our server structure and uses special requests that are part of the old Microsoft's UPnP standard, but it isn't part of DLNA anymore. Otherwise all the others clients respect our structure so it is possible to navigate Podcasts -> Subscriptions -> Podcast1 and you will see that the sort order is by Date (from newest to oldest). |

My summary of the issues: 1. Podcast\Subscriptions - correct order, no issue here (both in MM and most UPnP clients), however: 2. Podcast\Subscriptions - order doesn't persist - this would better be fixed. 3. Podcast\Podcast - incorrect order, since it's handled as Albums, i.e. not ordered by Date. I'd suggest to 'fix' this by simply hiding this node by default in MM interface, since it doesn't make much sense to have both Subscriptions and Podcast nodes. 4. Podcast\Artist\<Artist> - unexpected order, since its handles as ordinary Artists in Music collection. In order to make a generic fix, I think that we could include Date (ascending or descending) in these nodes, and actually in many other cases (Albums, etc.). I.e., default order would usually look like (depending on node): Artist, Album, Disc#, Track#, Date, Title. Since Date is usually just a year (and the same across the album), it wouldn't have any negative effect on Music, but would help in Podcasts or TV Series collections. 5. WMP UPnP client: Since it doesn't handle UPnP they way other client do, we probably can't do anything about it. To be confirmed by Ludek, but it seems so. |
