Sort Library Online Sources

Allow to sort library online sources. Sometimes I want to move certain sources to the start of the list or group together and I can't with the current interface. I think a Up and Down button will suffice.
Thanks

A long standing request!

Currenly this can be done using ServiiDroid but the library has to be re-indexed again from the start

A ticket has been logged here for the future request

+1 I'd be happy with up/down buttons, less bothered about folders and such.

I definately want Folders so that way i can put all the YouTube Feeds in one folder, iPlayer feeds in one folder ect

The other cool option when we have folders is, Serviio could allow to have folder icons (i know this currently works on PS3 and Bravia TVs)
This way my YouTube, iPlayer ect folders will be more visual to access

I'd love the folder capabilities too. It would make management of Online sources much nicer, rather than the huge single list that I have now. Maybe the addition of user definable categories with the ability to specify which feeds appear within those categories in the online source properties screen.

Up and down buttons REALLY useful, folders could add convenience too.

These are a must in my opinion.

Web UI for PHP will have this in the next release. Keep on the lookout.

HOw will you implement it? I think I'll add a index attribute to sort by. I assume you will remove all and add them again..?

I'm doing all the manipulation at the client level (via some fancy javascript). It appears that when an updated repository is received (via PUT /rest/repository), the API renumbers the list of online sources starting with "1" based on how they were received. Please correct me if this is not the way it should be working, but based on this it seems to work.

As a basic example, I have two online sources. I use some javascript to re-arrange them in a new order. See below:

Original list:

  Code:

  <onlineRepositories>
    <onlineRepository>
      <id>1</id>
      <repositoryType>FEED</repositoryType>
      <contentUrl>http://diystyle.net/vodcasts/feed/</contentUrl>
      <fileType>VIDEO</fileType>
      <repositoryName>http://diystyle.net/vodcasts/feed/</repositoryName>
      <enabled>true</enabled>
      <accessGroupIds>
        <id>1</id>
      </accessGroupIds>
    </onlineRepository>
    <onlineRepository>
      <id>2</id>
      <repositoryType>FEED</repositoryType>
      <contentUrl>http://streams.wgbh.org/online/clas/clas_performance.xml</contentUrl>
      <fileType>AUDIO</fileType>
      <repositoryName></repositoryName>
      <enabled>true</enabled>
      <accessGroupIds>
        <id>1</id>
      </accessGroupIds>
    </onlineRepository>
  </onlineRepositories>

I would then send the newly sorted list like:

  Code:

  <onlineRepositories>
    <onlineRepository>
      <id>3</id>
      <repositoryType>FEED</repositoryType>
      <contentUrl>http://streams.wgbh.org/online/clas/clas_performance.xml</contentUrl>
      <fileType>AUDIO</fileType>
      <repositoryName></repositoryName>
      <enabled>true</enabled>
      <accessGroupIds>
        <id>1</id>
      </accessGroupIds>
    </onlineRepository>
    <onlineRepository>
      <id>4</id>
      <repositoryType>FEED</repositoryType>
      <contentUrl>http://diystyle.net/vodcasts/feed/</contentUrl>
      <fileType>VIDEO</fileType>
      <repositoryName>http://diystyle.net/vodcasts/feed/</repositoryName>
      <enabled>true</enabled>
      <accessGroupIds>
        <id>1</id>
      </accessGroupIds>
    </onlineRepository>
  </onlineRepositories>

Unless there is something I'm missing, this should work. I'm certainly open to alternatives if you have something more in mind.

I think the rule for adding is that you leave the id blank. So GET 1, 2,3. reorder data, putback 3, 2, 1 data without ids. I don't know if new ids will then be 1,2,3 or 4,5,6.

[zip]

I will have to check the code and what it affects and will do it as a part of the bitbucket ticket. If it works for you like this go ahead, but it might not be the most efficient way. I suggest you follow the ticket and when it's done I'll update the API doc if there are any changes.

I had to remove them and re add them to get it work reliability when I did it for 0.6.X, which is effectively what you are doing as Serviio will ignore ids that it doesn't recognise, so you don't even need to renumber then. Having a proper sortId/index was the originally proposed solution as you would just change that and the content wouldn't have to be recached.

I desperately want folders for online source to keep my ever growing content nicely organised.

Zip is there any way the Windows console can refresh the online content list. Im using the new cool ServiioTube Chrome extension to add new content. It appears straight away saved in Web UI but not the Windows console.

After reading the originally proposed solution, I do like the option of having a sortId better. However, I do know that requires a lot of changes by zip. If this is something that could be introduced in the next release, I'd be glad to wait for it.

Xmantium, I really like the folders option too. Would definitely organize the list.
