Setting boxee view/sort options in Python plugin

[nerdlinger]

I have a video plugin that I wrote in python. I am happy using the boxee directory and don't really want to create a whole skin for it, but I was wondering if there is an easy way I can specify the default view and sort order for each directory?

For example, I want the first level directory that lists the shows to default to thumbnail view and sort by name. I want the next level that shows episodes to be in list view and sort by date.

Is there an easy way to do this? This is pure python, no RSS as of now.

So I think I can use the xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.SetViewMode(id)') command in python to set the view, but I cant seem to find the ID numbers for the boxee skin. Does anyone know what they are or where I can find them?

I'm trying to use the following in my python script, but they are not doing anything:

xbmcplugin.setContent(int(sys.argv[1]), 'episodes')
xbmcplugin.addSortMethod(int(sys.argv[1]), xbmcplugin.SORT_METHOD_EPISODE)
xbmcplugin.addSortMethod(int(sys.argv[1]), xbmcplugin.SORT_METHOD_DURATION)

Dose boxee obey theses methods? If not is there something I can use instead?

Was a solution for this ever found? I'm trying to convert an XBMC plugin and can't get xbmcplugin.SORT_METHOD_NONE or any other sort method working. The code works fine in XBMC. Everything seems to default to an alphanumeric sort.
