Support a full release date rather than just year #551

Suggestion that another sorting field be added to the MP Plugin.

Rather than the confusion given by the sort by date (previously discussed
in issue 333) with the modified/created windows dates.  

I am suggesting that the new field grab the release date from IMDB and then
we can sort our movies when they were released, this may assist many users.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Well the release date is already partially stored as the "year", so you could 
sort by 
this. There is no reason we couldn't modify this to store the full release date 
(including day and month) instead though.

As long as that is not complicating the issue to much.  I live in Australia, and
would be just happy to have the USA release date as my sorting option.  As long 
as it
can be sorted by the release date.. I am happy to have the constant USA release 
date.

Most likely we will just let the scraper script decide which date to use. 
Perhaps in 
the future we will add an enhancement so Moving Pictures will pass the current 
country 
to the scraper script so it can use this information to decide what to pull.

Yep, sounds like a better way to do it John

Hi John, I was wondering if any consideration may be given to moving this one 
forward
a bit?  

I have been adding a both a mix of new movies and old (ones I have missed over 
the
years) to my collection.

It is getting a bit painful when I want them to be sorted by there release date 
and
the only way is to modify the date physically with a program so that it shows 
up in
the right order...

I understnad it is not a great issue for most people, but, if you have any time 
it
would be appreciated.

Thanks, Spaldo

Scheduled it for our next enhancement release as low priority. No promises, but 
this is 
a pretty minor change so will try to get it in.

If you would like me to test this at any time let me know John.. I always have 
to go
in and change my windows file stamp when adding older movies into my 
collection, so
it gets a bit frustrating :)

Great news John, can't wait for this... will make things so much easier than 
having to change the windows time/date stamp everytime I add a old movie to my 
collection !

Original comment by elspa...@gmail.com on 31 Jan 2011 at 6:06

Any luck with this one?  It would be so much easier to not modify every movie's 
windows time stamp

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Its still planned its just not top priority right now. Sorry. :( I have raised 
the priority here on the tracker though so it should get more attention (which 
in turn could mean sooner implementation).

Thanks John... I appreciate it... At the moment, for me, Moving Pictures will 
pretty much be near perfect with this option.

I understand that most people may not need this feature, but, for those with a 
collection building like mine (older movies) and do not want them at the top of 
the list, the will REALLY appreciate this feature.

Thank you for your efforts and the attention you pay to the people who love 
your product

On our 3 year anniversary John, I can only say I am still as excited as I was 3

and I look forward to this wonderful addition to Moving Pictures!

Given that 1.5.1 is now out, was this item skipped?  It has been labeled 1.3.2 
for over a year... Please John, I will donate my left nut if required.

Hey apondman, 

Nice to hear from you.  I know you do a lot of work on the project and we 
appreciate it.

Unfortunately, yes, this is still an issue and we cannot sort the movies by 
release date :(

If you are really considering fixing the issue, then I will also consider 
naming my first child after you...

Thanks again, Spaldo

I think as long as a new DBMovieInfo field is added 'ReleaseDate' then im happy.

From both a user perspective and someone that uses the API (via the Trakt 
plugin) I expect Year to be a 'Year' and not a date.

TheMovieDbAPI already supports release date, in fact we currently parse the 
date to get the Year so its an easy change there.

r1509 and r1508 to be precise just needs a quick code review and verification 
that it works (it does on my machine). Translations can be solved in an 
alternate way if you would rather see the names of the month as a translation 
key.

It will be worth looking at the dynamic category for Release Date. If we decide 
to keep it then we need to prettify the nodes generated. What do you think?

I have raised Issue 1138, an enhancement to remove the 'Time' component from 
Date of Release. It serves no purpose to the user.

This will also deal with my comment #41.

@elspaldo, as far as Im aware 'ReleaseDate' sorting already exists. Check the 
bottom of the sort menu, it's the last entry.

I have just raised #1139 and #1140 for better sorting with respect to release 
date.
