Is it possible to view installed MC version number (example: "Media Center 23.0.21") in display area instead of just plain "JRiver Media Center 23"?

[Matt]

Look at the [App Version] variable.

Something like this makes it show the full version:
RemoveRight([App Name], 2)[App Version]

Thanks! Now it looks just like I want

Exactly -> Perfect !

[App Name] [App Version], and the one I use... mc.version

These only work in the display caption.
I didn't know about [App Name] and [App Version] (although I think a default MC uses [App Name]?) and I've no idea how I know about mc.version.

Are there any other little easter eggs we can deploy in there? I don't have anything specific in mind, mc.version and the current date/time seems to be enough for me... just curious, is all

I use this customisation. Is that the sort of thing you mean?

Code: [Select]

[Elapsed Time] // [Total Time] // [Remaining Time] - [Bit Depth] bit-[Sample Rate] kHz-[Bitrate (labeled)]-[Channels] Channel-[File Type] - [PN Position] of [PN Tracks]  [Zone]

Since we're all sharing, here's mine;

Code: [Select]

[Elapsed Time] // [Total Time] // [Remaining Time]   FixCase([Compression], 3)   [Bit Depth]-Bit // [Sample Rate] kHz   [Genre]   [Year]   DR[Dynamic Range (DR)]   [File Size]   Disc [Disc #] of [Total Discs]   Track [Track #] of [Total Tracks]
It works pretty good, except for DSD tracks (due to [Bit Depth]-Bit // [Sample Rate] kHz appearing different for DSD - wish I could substitute those with DSD variables when playing DSD).

I don't use "Alternative" mode displays. Mine are still a work in (very slow) progress, I tinker with it every so often, with the idea being to use expressions to change the display automatically based on media type being played...

I started a thread about this a while back with my Standard View display expressions.

https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=103049.0

Display expressions were one of the very first things I tried to customize when I downloaded the trial of MC several years ago.  I changed the display expression to something rather simple at that time and was *thrilled* that I could do it so easily and make it as customized as I wanted.

After 5 weeks with MC, I knew I could never go back to anything else I had tried.  Display expressions were my very first taste of that...
