[Awesome Donkey]

I just acquired a Schiit Loki DSD DAC (it's discontinued, I know, but it adds DSD64 to my existing Schiit DAC without buying a new DAC for the few SACD DSF files I have) and I've been setting it up. I've got two zones; Player for PCM (everything non-DSD) and Player (DSD) for DSF files. Everything else is setup with ZoneSwitch and it works fine. The issue is, when the Player (DSD) zone is triggered I want it to use the Play Mode (Alternative) display aka Alternate Display Text, which is set for a DSD status - Play Mode (Main) is set with a PCM title/status display. Is there a way to do this? Is there a way to set up which Play Mode (Main or Alternative) display text is used when using zones?

If it isn't possible, then I'd like to request this. Pretty please, Matt?

Both Play Mode titles for Main and Alternative are the same;

Code: [Select]

[Artist] - [Name] ([Album])
But the Status for Main and Alternative are different;

Main:

Code: [Select]

[Elapsed Time] // [Total Time] // [Remaining Time]   FixCase([File Type], 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]
Alternative:

Code: [Select]

[Elapsed Time] // [Total Time] // [Remaining Time]   FixCase([File Type], 3)   DSD64 // 2.8 MHz   [Genre]   [Year]   DR[Dynamic Range (DR)]   [File Size]   Disc [Disc #] of [Total Discs]   Track [Track #] of [Total Tracks]
Get the general idea of what I'm trying to do here?

You could get crafty and use an if statement around the zone.

For example:
If(IsEqual([Zone], Stereo),Stereo,Other Zone)

Would something like that work?

[Awesome Donkey]

Hmmm, what would be an example be using the above (I'm not good at these expressions yet)? Can you specify specific zones that way?

Have [Bit Depth]-Bit // [Sample Rate] kHz for the zone Player and DSD64 // 2.8 MHz for the Player (DSD) zone?

[Matt]

Well you could use an ifelse(...) statement.

Just keep testing for each zone name.

IfElse(IsEqual([Zone], Player), blah, IsEqual([Zone], Player /(DSD/)), bleh, true, remaining)

[Awesome Donkey]

Great! This seems to be working fine (see any issues with this?);

Code: [Select]

IfElse(IsEqual([Zone], Player), [Bit Depth]-Bit // [Sample Rate], IsEqual([Zone], Player /(DSD/)), DSD64 // 2.8 MHz, true, [Bit Depth]-Bit // [Sample Rate] kHz)
Thanks Matt, you're the best!
