TMSArchive - die Fileralternative für den TMS

[Anthea]

Something I would really like for TMSArchive is a second file ordering, that is used for Media Files. For normal recordings, I like to have them in order of their recording. For media files, that is an irrelevant option, especially due to the issue that the OS system time is not set by the Topfield, so files copied from external to the receiver that are not .rec files don't have a useable timestamp. For those (.mp4, .mp3, etc) my prefered order would be by file name. And the border between them is normally changing to the MediaFiles resp. MP3 folder.

Only if you use the Topfield filer. If you use TMSArchive you don't need the MediaFiles folder. I don't use it.

Geht mir genauso, nach einem Neustart des CRP2401 taucht das Tap dann in TTD nicht mal mehr als installiert auf. Bin auch zurückgegangen.

Nitpicker. Of course I don't use the Topfield MediaFiles folder, too, but I use the mountpoint or linkpoint inside the datafiles. The problem I described remains the same. Even if I mount a NAS folder: For the files inside the date is irrelevant, for the datafiles folder it might be usefull.

So it would be better to define the file ordering per folder, not for DataFiles and MediaFiles. I think SmartFiler does it this way, but I'm not sure.

Hi Anthea / Horst,

You can use the Pause key to change the sort order. The Pause key will step through the different sort orders.
Using the Sort Config menu you can hide the sort orders you don't want to use.
If you hide all but Data and Name, then the Pause key will toggle between them.


Hi Ameise / Listener,

I'm sorry, I don't understand. Are you saying with the new v5.2c that the FileList key brings up the native file list instead of TMSA file list?
Are you sure TMSA is running? Is anyone else having this problem?

Regards,
Tango.

Hi Tango,

Yes, I know it, and I currently use it that way. Anyway, to explain my motivation for my question: If I have a folder containing 100+ Items, and I watch one file from that folder, I open the list again... and the folder opens in the default sorting, selecting the first item, whatever that might be, not the last active. So if I now use the pause key for the desired order, I am somewhere inside the list, wherever that newest item might be. Everything can be solved by a few keypresses, yes, but if I catch up with a series, or even worse show my children some episodes of a series with 5-minute-episodes, it gets annoying with the time, bringing the hope that there might be a solution for it.

Ich frag nochmal; Kann ich irgendwo einstellen, dass ich beim umbenennen gleich die Zifferntasten als solche nutzen kann?

Hi Tango,

the Problem with the new Version seems to be that it is not starting correctly. If you look at my Tapsystem-log you see at 09:09:06 TMSARCHIVE V5.2b is running.
Lateron I started TAPTODATE at 09:16:18 and installed V5.2c. But now it only stops V5.2b and doesn´t start V5.2c. Even after a reboot at 09:21:12 V5.2c doesn`t start and because TMSARCHIVE isn´t started the normal Topfield file list comes up with the FileList key.
Falling back to V5.2b solves the Problem - 09:27:03.

Hello Tango!

Sorry, I realized too late that I need to approach you in english. Well, I can confirm the findings described by mini49 above. In addition, the 5.2c does no longer appear as installed in TaptoDate after a restart of the receiver. I also went back to the 5.2b version. Cannot provide any logfiles currently, as I'm not at home. And, last but not least, receiver is a CRP2401-CI+.

Hi mini49,

Thanks for explaining the problem and for the logs. From the logs, it looks like the copy of TMSA v5.2c you have is corrupt. I've checked what is available on TAP2Date and the .tgz is only 1kB (it should be over 300kB).
I suspect if you check the v5.2c TMSArchive.tap you have on your machine it will be less than 1kB (it should be 976kB).

I've recreated the package and uploaded it to TAP2Date. If you can download it again, it should be good now.

No worries Listener. It looks like anyone who downloaded v5.2c from TAP2Date will have this problem. If you download again, it should be good.

For anyone that downloaded direct from the TMSA homepage, you don't need to download again.

Regards,
Tango.

Hi Thorle,

I'm not sure if your request translated right... are you wanting to use the number keys on the remote when you're renaming a file?

When the TMSA keyboard is on screen, the number buttons on the remote should work as an SMS keypad. (eg. 2 = a/b/c/2, 3=d/e/f/3)

Regards,
Tango.

Hi Anthea,

I don't think just remembering the sort order for a folder would help. It sounds like you also want TMSA to remember the last file selected (or played) for each folder. I don't have any plans to add that functionality. But I can make a couple of suggestions.

1) If you want to play multiple short shows for the kids, I'd suggest using the multi-select option to play them. You can select multiple files to play with the multiselect key (Red is the default), then press Play. Each of the files will play in turn (unless you press Stop or clear the multiselect list)

2) If you don't want the cursor position to jump when you re-sort with the Pause key, place the cursor on the parent directory ("..") when you re-sort. That way you'll stay at the top of the list.

Regards,
Tango.
