Smart list help
« on: October 15, 2017, 03:59:16 pm »

I have an existing Smart List that works fine, but I want to add another condition, and I can't figure it out.  Basically, I want it to work exactly how it works now, which is pasted below, but I also want to add a condition that ignores the first 4 lines, and if 'Needs Processing' = 'Compress Now'), it is also added to the list.  I have attached the current rules.  I'm sure it can be done, but not sure how. I have tried some 'ands' and 'ors', but nothing seems to work.

Try this... Bear in mind I've had to translate the wizard from memory as I've no MC in front of me at the moment...
Code: [Select]
(([Media Type]=[Video] [Number Plays]=[] -[Needs Processing]=Completed,[] [Filename (Path)]="Recorded TV") OR [Needs Processing]="Compress Now")
Also, I have not included the sorting rules in the expression above.

When posting these in the future, it can also be helpful if you hit that "Import/Export" button, and paste the contents shown into your post, preferably inside code tags.

thanks, Should I 'and' the first 4 though, since all must be met?

Got it.  It was:
Code: [Select]
([condition 1
condition 2
condition 3
condition 4]
condition 5)

This way, if ALL of the first 4 conditions are true, OR if just the last one is true, the file will be in the list.

Thanks for the help.  It got me to the answer eventually!
