Ok.... My roommate and I have gone a little nuts and have come up with a way display the contents of the Movies folder on a RB menu sorted by Date Modified that launches whatever file is selected in VLC. We have also added a 'folder action' to the Movies folder that updates the Date Modified of whatever files are added to it... end result: We have RB menu item that when clicked, always shows us the lastest files added to our Movies folder... crazy right?

Here is the applescript:

--works inside Remote Buddy

set files_list to do shell script "ls -t ~/Movies"

set myList to stringToList for files_list from (ASCII character 13) 
set menu_list to {} 
set _count to 1

repeat with theCurrentValue in myList 
set the end of menu_list to theCurrentValue 
set the end of menu_list to theCurrentValue 
end repeat

tell application "Remote Buddy Express" 
showmenu with items menu_list menu name "example"

end tell

on menureturn(hiddenID, menuname) 
tell application "Finder" 
set file_to_open to ((home as string) & "Movies:" & hiddenID) 
end tell 
tell application "VLC" 
activate 
open file_to_open 
end tell 
end menureturn

on stringToList for theString from stringDelimiter 
tell AppleScript 
set oT to text item delimiters 
set text item delimiters to stringDelimiter 
set outList to text items of theString 
set text item delimiters to oT 
return outList 
end tell 
end stringToList

And, here is the folder action:

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items 
tell application "Finder" 
try 
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in these_items 
set this_item to item i of these_items 
activate 
--display dialog "Doing it" 
do shell script "touch " & (quoted form of POSIX path of this_item) 
end repeat 
on error error_message number error_number 
if the error_number is not -128 then 
tell application "Finder" 
activate 
display dialog error_message & "touch" & (quoted form of POSIX path of this_item) buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 giving up after 120 
--display dialog "touch " & (quoted form of POSIX path of this_item) 
end tell 
end if 
end try 
end tell 
end adding folder items to
