[gentoo-user] MediaTomb - sorting images by exif rating

Hello there!
I am using Mediatomb with my telly which is so far the best DLNA server I've
tried. I use the telly to present images from my DSLR camera and I'd like to
be able to list only images that have rating over 4. By rating, I mean EXIF
tag 0x4746 (Exif.Image.Rating). Does anybody know how to force MediaTomb to
create such virtual folders?
Thanks for your responses!
Peter

MediaTomb builds the virtual folder set via JavaScript.

Take a peek under /usr/share/mediatomb/js , and at
http://mediatomb.cc/pages/scripting

Thanks for your answer, Michael. I have already read the web page you
posted, but my problem is that libextractor extracts various EXIF metadata
from jpeg files EXCEPT for exif rating. So I wonder whether there is any
workaround/any way to do this in some different way? Or maybe some way to
teach libextractor to extract those data? I tried to find some configuration
for libextractor/exiv2 but unforutnately without any success.

I don't have a good answer for that. You might try the ask-and-lurk
pattern in #mediatomb on Freenode. Note that you're running Gentoo,
and could patch the source (in case you pique the curiosity of an
interested mt dev).
