Default View for media

[dcubox1]

I was wondering is there any way to set the default view for the media??
Every time I reload the router it automatically goes back to performer when I want it to be Filename!

Currently there is no user level setting for this - it would require changes to underlying code to set the default 'filter'


All the best

Moreover, it seems nobody is interested to implement that. Because the main idea is to tag all media files properly and the use those filters instead of filenames.

PS. I also prefer filenames as main filter for my media library.

Well we set the default filter from 'Performer' to 'Album' in Cascade/Dianemo because that seems the more natural default based our user feedback.

Is this just a field in the database that can be changed or is it a code change?

Also as a matter of interest is it possible to access the database tables without using the admin page?
I write applications using SQL Server so would like to be able to change things in the database without using the front end!

I don't think so. I suspect this is hardcoded in the media plugin.

What is the easiest way around this issue? Im getting tired of having to change my default to FILENAME everytime I reload the router or add new media etc!!

Is this option really not configurable via the database?

It can be configured but somebody should change the code

nite_man when you say it can be configured do you mean a database field or are you talking code change?

[nite_man]

dcubox1, default filter is defined in the code and not in database or some config. So, to make it configurable first of all a new field/config option should be added. And then the code should be changed to read that value from DB or config instead to have it hardcoded.

Unfortunately its needs a code change currently.
