[YAMJ] Newly downloaded movies not shown in NEW category

[astronyu]

Just curious and hope anyone can help me.

My A210 downloads series and movies fine and they were all being sent to the correct folder on the network and local (A210).

The thing that bothers me is that only newly added series are shown in the "NEW" section in YAMJ while the newly downloaded movies were not shown. I was under the impression newly downloaded movies will be shown in the "NEW" section of YAMJ.

I'm using Eversion skin.

YAMJ uses the modification date on the file. Often downloaded files have an incorrect date.

Is there any way to fix this? Maybe like having it to use created date instead?

Yes, 'touch' the file and the date will be set to today, it will then put it in the New category after a rescan.

In the PCH shell you can use the touch command eg touch <filename>

If you are in windows I recommend a program called rtouch which gives you a right click menu option in Windows Exploser which you can get it to set the date to 'now' and it also recursively touches if you do it on a folder

Thanks. Will try that.
Will I see this "touch" being integrated with YAMJ in the future?

no it will never be added.. setup your other tools correctly, or look for a newer tool they all do this and it's common across many software to do this.

[astronyu]

cheers.

Just weird that it used to show the new movies but no more.
Now, after using the "touch", all my new movies shown on the new category. Maybe there is command that I can add to My_YAMJ.cmd to touch the movies. lol.

well your setup is your setup but why would you constantly make things new when you can just setup your other tools to make those correct..

Your fixing the wrong software in my opinion.

No, I don't want to constantly make things new. It just that if I downloaded a new movies/series, I often go inside the NEW category and find them, easier than browsing the whole 500 titles.

The thing is, now only new downloaded series got listed in the NEW tab while the movies, regardless if they are new or back from 2005, they are not being shown. If I want to watch them, I will have to browse the movie category which is painstakingly slow.

When you unpack using RAR, make sure to uncheck "Set Modification Time" under "Advanced" tab. It will set it to the current time and date, making your movies show up under "New".

Thanks. How about if using Couchpotato? My movies are all downloaded using CP and it automatically extracted.

couchpotato on the nmt? post in the couch potato thread and ask them how to have couchpotato (or your unraring script) to touch the files or use kirs recommendation for modified time on the unrar command line.

Do you use sabnzbd to download the files?

If so There is "secret" setting called "ignore_unrar_dates"

How to use it, is described here: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-special
