Script: Custom Collection for Recently Added Games
-
The script uses the creation time of a file (a game) to build a custom collection with these files added since a specific time span. It is a hack approach outside ES, avoiding to do a major change in ES code.
This script is based on some assumptions
- Your Rpi clock is synchronized with a trusted time source at least during boot time
- You re-run the script whenever you added new games
The former information can be found on the internet, the latter can be achieved with anacron for example.
As there is currently no information stored in the gamelist about the creation time of a gamefile the collection can only be sorted by the currently built-in options. Default is to sort alphabetically from A to Z.
You can find the script here.
Find the setup and running notes in the script header comments.
Any Qs let me know.
