Again thank you!, but why doesn't my attempt to translate the code into File size work???

This code works:

Code: [Select]

If(!IsEmpty([File Size]),IfElse(IsEqual([File Size],15,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([File Size],40,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([File Size],100,3),<font color="#008000">) [File Size],) <//font>
And this code works:

Code: [Select]

If(!IsEmpty([File Size]),IfElse(IsEqual([File Size],7,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([File Size],15,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([File Size],100,3),<font color="#008000">) [File Size],) <//font>

But when I try to use this in front it doesn't work:

Code: [Select]

If(IsEqual([Width],1920,5)

Complete code:

Code: [Select]

If(IsEqual([Width],1920,5),If(!IsEmpty([File Size]),IfElse(IsEqual([File Size],15,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([File Size],40,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([File Size],100,3),<font color="#008000">) [File Size],) <//font>,If(!IsEmpty([File Size]),IfElse(IsEqual([File Size],7,3),<font color="#990000">,IsEqual([File Size],15,3),<font color="#FDDB2E">,IsEqual([File Size],100,3),<font color="#008000">) [File Size],) <//font>

My thinking is to have the correspondent file size to match the color coding of the bitrate:


If resolution is more then 1920
16000 = Red color (15GB)
40000 = Yellow color (40GB)
100000 = Green color (100GB)

If resolution is 1920 or less
10000 = Red color (7GB)
20000 = Yellow color (15GB)
100000 = Gren color (100GB)


//arcspin

[lepa]

I guess because [File Size] output size AND unit so it isn't as such a plain number (24 vs. 24 GB)

If you use [File Size,0] you'll get file size in bytes which can be used in mathematical operations
or you can use e.g. Replace() function to remove unit: Replace([file size],/ GB)  to convert "40 GB" to "40"

Anyway bitrate would better indicator of quality as file size depends on the length of your video file.

BTW You can experiment expressions and parts of expressions easily in standard view by making expression column and try your expressions there

[arcspin]

Great info Lepa,
I will try out your suggestions, especially the part with the expression column.
It is a PITA to always have to go into theater view to see the end results when I do trial and error.

Sorry to bother you all with this, I just find it fun and rewarding figuring out different use-cases for my theater view.

Again, Great help as always!

Hi,
I have a question about "the small view" as seen in my screenshot.
The sorting and display comes from when I click the directors name (Blake Edwards) and all the movies from that director comes up.

I kind of like that layout and are wondering where the settings are for that layout and I do not mean the layout for the right hand side (file info panel) of my screenshot but the movies titles on the left hand side.
In the screenshot there is only the movie title under each movie poster and I would like to add more info to the movie title name (year and edition) and being able to sort the titles in another way.

And also being able to force that layout when I group a movie serie, for example all my James Bond movies are grouped together with the "series tag" and when I access that view the movies are shown as usual but without the "small view"

I hope I make myself clear!?




Best regards and have a great weekend,

//arcspin

(I know how to customize the file info panel so that is not the issue here)

[tij]

i read through most of things in this post ... for Theatre View seems mods are centered around info screen/tooltip

can background image be modified based on which item is selected?

can posters for movies/music be modified?

[arcspin]

It is easy to switch movie/album poster.
Just right klick on the movie or album and select Cover Art and then Add from file or select anything else

[tij]

Just right klick on the movie or album and select Cover Art and then Add from file or select anything else

What I mean is can posters/covers be modified in Theatre View ... for example adding transparent case image to movie poster so it looks like BlueRay box ... or adding transparent jewel case to album cover

[Moe]

What I mean is can posters/covers be modified in Theatre View ... for example adding transparent case image to movie poster so it looks like BlueRay box ... or adding transparent jewel case to album cover

No, I don't think that is possible. 

[tij]

No, I don't think that is possible.

How about background? ... can background image be modified based on which item is selected?

At the moment ... I can figure out 3 ways

1. static image defined in TheatreView template
2. online slideshow for when item selected
3. for music only ... if online sources are unselected ... then online slideshow will cycle through all images located in same directory (as this does not work for movies ... I was wondering if something manually can be done)

[Moe]

I can't say that I have ever tried. I use the built in online slideshow and am happy with the results.

Hi all,
I'm bumping my own question as it might have gotten lost in this thread.

The basic question is that when Movies are shown in groups like in the screen shoot from my post above, how do I tweak the information shown on the left hand side and how do I sort movies in that "Small View"?
I can't find how to add an expression to sort and show more information from the movies in that group.

Best regards,

//arcspin

[Moe]

Arcspin, I believe what you are looking for is still found under the File Info Panel settings. 

Customize File Info Panel > Choose Movies under Templates > Manage Button > Edit Template > Caption/Regular (Place your value here, eg. [Name] [Director])

I am not sure about some of the other stuff you asked, but I think this should get you started.

I wonder if we should get this thread moved to the MC 26 section.  Lots of good info in here and I know that I often forget to check this board now.

[arcspin]

Great Moe,
Exactly what I was looking for. I've been to those fields before but didn't know what they were so I always left those fields alone (I don't want to screw things up).

The follow up to this is if there is a way of sorting those movie files regarding to their release year, as it is now it is sorted by title name and I can't find a way of sorting in a different way in the Movie template as you describe in the post above.

Yes, This should be moved over to MC26 as it is a treasure trove for anyone looking to customize their templates.
I my self have bought MC26 but haven't made the switch as I think that MC26 do not offer any real improvements regarding the Theater view experience over MC25.



Again, Thank you!

//arcspin

[Moe]

Sorting is set in the theater view options, here

[arcspin]

Yes, that I know but I can't find the corresponding sorting view for this section.
"Customize File Info Panel > Choose Movies under Templates > Manage Button > Edit Template > Caption/Regular (Place your value here, eg. [Name] [Director])"


Never mind, I've been thinking about Oscars and when I use Mcratings there is this field that lists all the awards a movie have gotten.
I have figured out how to display movies sorting by how many awards the movie have had, see attachement.

But I do not know how to singel out the Oscar wins and group only by the Oscar wins.

From Mcratings this is how a movie that have won Oscars have in their Awards field: Won 11 Oscars. Another 111 wins & 77 nominations.
Is there a way to single out only the Oscar wins and group those together so I have a group (folder) with 11 Oscars, a group (folder) with 10 Oscars, and so on...

Or perhaps, filter out everything that isn't an Oscar win and group that way instead.

Cheers,

//arcspin

[Moe]

Something like this should do it

Code: [Select]

if(isequal([Awards], Oscar, 8), if(isequal([Awards], Won, 8), Oscar Winner,  Oscar Nominee),No Ocar)

[lello]

Lello, I would just hold for now.  JRiver is giving us true image support (see the thread I linked a few posts back) which is going to make this whole process much, much easier.  It will make it easier to create and easier to share as well.

After a long time I went back to reading this thread, and I see that you have gone ahead making some really beautiful and interesting screens. For me, however, everything is still very difficult to put into practice: is there a release of a simple solution for those who are not as practical as me?

[Moe]

Lets start small, what is one thing you'd like to achieve?  If we start there we can walk you through the process of accomplishing that.

[arcspin]

Thanx for the Oscars code. It is working just fine.
(the code is missing an "s" in "No Ocar" at the end of the code.)

I now have a couple of different Oscar views that will come in handy.


Cheers,

//arcspin

[lello]

Lets start small, what is one thing you'd like to achieve?  If we start there we can walk you through the process of accomplishing that.

So, I followed the instructions on the first post of this long thread, downloading and installing everything that was needed, obtaining the relative template, after which I stopped while you made huge steps forward. I'd like to have a template like this https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=119385.0;attach=33272;image but besides downloading a ready-made .zip file, I don't think I'm capable

[Moe]

Unfortunately, you won't find a zip file that will magically get you there.  There are too many moving pieces and everyone's libraries are a bit different. 

That said, I think once you get a couple of things working, you'll begin to see how it all works.  There is a learning curve, but once you figure out one or two things it's easy to wrap your head around it.  That's why I suggest you pick one thing you'd like to add first, like the IMDB rating or something like that.  I would not start with actor images as that's probably the most complex part of the whole thing.

[lello]

Okay, let's forget the photos of the actors.
Currently I get the icons audio format, video, channels but they are in black and white and I would like to have them in color like those in the image above. As for the aspect ratio, moreover, in several films it is wrong (the 2.35: 1 icon appears to me when it is actually a 1.85: 1) and I cannot understand where the information comes from.

[fitbrit]

I think this is at a stage where a lot of the most common mods - Dolby logos, ratings etc, should be rolled into a default view. Anyone new to MC who wants to use this new feature currently has to wade through a LOT of stuff in this thread. If a default view was given some of these options, and could then be user modified, we'd have some kind of expression template in place that we could experiment with. Right now, I really feel it's too much of a time investment to start from scratch.

Can you share the code that you have, I have a feeling you're still using the font rather than using images if everything is black and white.

As for your aspect ratio, again, I'd have to see the code you're using to be able to figure out why it's not working for some movies.

I like this idea a lot.  They could include generic images that aren't going to step on any copyright toes but would but would be a good example of how things work.

[lello]

In fact, as I said, I had remained at the indications of the first post for which I used fonts. Then I discovered, from this post of yours https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,119385.msg847989.html#msg847989 that you have to use the images and I finally managed to do everything except the aspect ratio as it seems it is necessary to use MCUtils that I have downloaded, but I am not able to use; I'll try again as soon as possible.

This is what I currently use with fonts: <font face = "ToolTip01" size = "180" color = "# 9496a3"> If (Math (below (trunc (Replace ([Aspect Ratio],:, //) + .005, 2), 1.38)), M, If (Math (below (trunc (Replace ([Aspect Ratio],:, //) + .005, 2), 1.68)), N, If (Math (below (trunc (Replace ([Aspect Ratio],:, //) + .005, 2), 1.80)), O, If (Math (below (trunc (Replace ([Aspect Ratio],:, //) +. 005, 2), 1.87)), P, Q)))) <// font>

[Moe]

You actually don't need MCUtils to determine Aspect Ratio, it's just the way that I do it.

That expression comes from Lepa and it uses the default [Aspect Ratio] field in MC and I am not super familiar with it. 

For the movies that are showing the incorrect value for aspect ratio, what is the value for the Aspect Ratio field for those movies?  I have a feeling it is blank.  All of my movies that have a blank value for Aspect Ratio show as 2.35 using Lepa's expression.  Unfortunately, I am not sure how MC is populating the Aspect Ratio field as it's a default MC field.  I would be curious to hear how Lepa deals with these movies, if he has the problem that is.

Using MCUtils doesn't have the above problem. If you do decide to move forward with MCUtils, I highly suggest getting in touch with MrC. His email can be found in the script documents, he'll get you up and running in no time.

EDIT: After a bit of fiddling, I was able to get most of my blank Aspect Ratio values filled in by removing the existing cover art and then adding it back in.  I still have a handful of files that this didn't work on, but doing this fixed about 99% of them (I have four movies that MC can't determine the AR on).  That may help if you have the same issue that I did.

[lello]

In fact in films with wrong aspect ratio, they had the empty field in MC so I solved this problem

However, if I wanted to use images instead of fonts, what expression should I use instead of
Lepa?

Thank you

[Moe]

You just need to replace the letter in the expression (that corresponds to an image glyph) with the corresponding image.  As an example, this part of the expression:

Code: [Select]

If (Math (below (trunc (Replace ([Aspect Ratio],:, //) + .005, 2), 1.38)), M
Is saying, after doing some fancy math, if the aspect ratio is less than 1.38 return the letter M.  The custom font has the letter M look like the the 1.33 glyph.  You can test this by going to my site https://moesrealm.com/MC/ clicking into the area where all the images are and typing the letter M (it has to be a capital letter, type a lowercase m and watch what happens).

To use images instead of the font, you replace M in your expression with <img src="tooltip:1.38">, making sure that you have an image called 1.38.png in your tooltip image folder (the images can be found on my site, if you haven't grabbed them already https://moesrealm.com/MC/mc-images/ Then do the same for all the other letters that correspond to glyphs

So your expression would end up looking something like this.

Code: [Select]

If (Math (below (trunc (Replace ([Aspect Ratio],:, //) + .005, 2), 1.38)), <img src="tooltip:1.38">, If (Math (below (trunc (Replace ([Aspect Ratio],:, //) + .005, 2), 1.68)), <img src="tooltip:1.66">, If (Math (below (trunc (Replace ([Aspect Ratio],:, //) + .005, 2), 1.80)), <img src="tooltip:1.78">, If (Math (below (trunc (Replace ([Aspect Ratio],:, //) +. 005, 2), 1.87)), <img src="tooltip:1.85">, <img src="tooltip:2.35">))))


[lepa]

For the movies that are showing the incorrect value for aspect ratio, what is the value for the Aspect Ratio field for those movies?  I have a feeling it is blank.  All of my movies that have a blank value for Aspect Ratio show as 2.35 using Lepa's expression.  Unfortunately, I am not sure how MC is populating the Aspect Ratio field as it's a default MC field.  I would be curious to hear how Lepa deals with these movies, if he has the problem that is.

Yes, aspect ratio determination is a real pain. MC gets it mostly right for ripped mkvs where there is no black bars. You can also try to calculate it from your videos width & height but if there are black bars it will also go wrong. I guess there is no scraper at the moment for the aspect ratio.

Lello: I'd say let's forget about the fonts at least for most of the times and use images instead. Moe has been generously hosting bunch of them collected by him and me and probably also others here.

Theater View building is nice in that way that we can make progress line by and you can also keep your original template, just push it down in priority list.

So lets start from top row what my template looks like
I'm using both MCRatings and MCUtils but you can get started with MCRatings only

[lepa]

Tools -> Options -> TheaterView -> ...Customize file info panel

I'm using prefix notation L: or S: to show me if that row is meant for large or small view

L: Name
first  line is the title which will be shown on top of TheaterView
nothing fancy there. It will show Movie name and year and information if it is already watched

L: Name + year + watched
Basically same as above but shown as first of the movie information set

S: Name + year + watched + rating
Showing these things in small view

L: mpaa+duration+genre+year+country
Shows these things. This one actually uses fonts for mpaa because MC's images doesn't support vertically centered images (it is always drawing them from top)

S: mpaa+duration+genre+country
Same info for small view. This uses images for mpaa...

etc..

I think that if you add that template included here, we can then start to tinker problems which will occur because you don't have some metadata or fonts or images. If you don't override your original movie template you can always use that one until you got this new one sorted just toggle the priority of the templates and the upper one is used.

---
I should mention also that there are some work in progresses here also. e.g I have used "Show only when viewing a file grouping" to hide some of those lines e.g. "L: separator" so I didn't have to delete it if i come back to that some day. One thing which is wip is those aspect ratios... I should start to use MCUtils for better hit ratio.

End results images also attached

[Moe]

Regarding aspect ratio and MCUtils, it's done using pscriptor which in turn is using mediainfo. I am not sure how it calculates aspect ratio, I don't know if it takes into account black bars or not.  I have a feeling that it does not.

This is the command I run to find Aspect Ratio.  This command also returns the number of audio streams contained within the file.

pscriptor.pl getmediainfo -F "Number of Audio Streams",AR --params "General.AudioCount,Video.DisplayAspectRatio" -VV

From a quick look, I am not sure if my results are any better than yours.  I just didn't take the time to figure out the expression you used to turn the MC value into something a bit more usable for our needs, I am not sure I could have

It would be nice if one of the movie database sites, that has an API, listed the movies actual aspect ratio.  As far as I know, none of them do.  IMDB does, but I am not aware of a scraper for it.

[lepa]

Yes, the media info result is probably the same as calculated from height and width.

Got a tip how to make more efficient calculation inside MC by using global variables instead of multiple math functions so I've edited my [AR-Calculated] field now as follows. [Aspect ratio] needs to have value for this calculation to get wanted results. [AR-calcluated] is needed if you want to convert [Aspect ratio] fields decimal values to standard values used in movie industry and to make image loading automation a little simpler

Code: [Select]

Save(Math(Trunc(Replace([Aspect Ratio], :, // ) + .005, 2)), gAR)IfElse(Compare(Load(gAR), <, 1), Empty, Compare(Load(gAR), <, 1.38), 1.33, Compare(Load(gAR), <, 1.68), 1.66,Compare(Load(gAR), <, 1.80), 1.78,Compare(Load(gAR), <, 1.87), 1.85,Compare(Load(gAR), <, 2.36), 2.35,Compare(Load(gAR), <, 2.40), 2.39)This will make one math calculation and one compare per file
and will output one of the values: Empty, 1.33, 1.66, 1.78, 1.85, 2.35 or 2.39

Then I have images in the MC's data/tooltip folder accordingly: so aspect-1.33.png, aspect-1.66.png etc.

On my Tech Icons row for theater view I then simply have:

<font size="150"><img src="tooltip:container-[File Type]">  If(IsEqual([Notes],Dolby Vision,8),<img src="tooltip:Definition-DolbyVision">,If(IsEqual([Notes],HDR,8),<img src="tooltip:definition-hdr">,<img src="tooltip:definition-[Definition]">))If(!IsEmpty([Aspect Ratio]),/  <img src="tooltip:aspect-[AR-calculated]">,)  <img src="tooltip:speakers-[Channels]">  <img src="tooltip:audio-[Audio Codec]">If(!IsEmpty([Production Companies]),/  <img src="tooltip:studio-ListItem([Production Companies],0)"><img src="tooltip:studio-ListItem([Production Companies],1)"><img src="tooltip:studio-ListItem([Production Companies],2)"><img src="tooltip:studio-ListItem([Production Companies],3)"><img src="tooltip:studio-ListItem([Production Companies],4)">,)If(!IsEmpty([Publisher]),/  <img src="tooltip:publisher-[Publisher]">,)<//font>


...which will pick correct aspect ratio picture from the tooltip folder. Value "Empty" is just for my TODO view so I can see which movies doesn't have [Aspect Ration] field filled and (currently) needs to be inserted by hand

[lello]

To use images instead of the font, you replace M in your expression with <img src="tooltip:1.38">, making sure that you have an image called 1.38.png in your tooltip image folder (the images can be found on my site, if you haven't grabbed them already https://moesrealm.com/MC/mc-images/ Then do the same for all the other letters that correspond to glyphs

Perfect, I followed your instructions and now I get the images also for the aspect ratio. Thank you
P.S. as soon as I can I try the new template and the different method for the aspect ratio

[lello]

Is there any way to import Mediainfo data into the library fields, especially languages ​​and subtitles?

I managed to make the audio & subtitle line work (inserting the image of the national flags in the tooltip folder) only by manually entering the necessary data in the specific fields of the library

[lepa]

Yes it is. I have created [Subtitles] [Audio Language] fields which I'll populate using Jmone's toolset.

It needs two rounds: one for subtitles and one for audio tracks

Parameters as in pic:
Subtitles, Language, Text
Audio Language, Language, Audio

I have also made view to manage these fields so that I don't try to process already handled items as they e.g. don't have subtitles etc

[lello]

In the end I did it but it was a bit complicated because the Swag of Tools program that I didn't know, crashed my PC several times. In the end I realized that I had to select a few files at a time to avoid crashing.

Thanks again

[lepa]

I haven't got PC crash with Swag but have experienced that I should leave MC alone while going through files Swag of Tools or otherwise Swag of Tools is killed.

[dmillionz]

Could you post pictures of your progress? what does it look like? what have you done?

Flow should be something like this:
If you try to use my template inside the zip you should do steps 1-4 and result should be 5.
Next if you check edit template (second picture) and that search criteria is set to movie (third picture)
Last you should check (4th picture) that this imported movie template (which you just added from the clipboard) is highest movie template (remember pic3 search criteria)

You don't have my filmstudios font so those wont show up as icons but that shouldn't bother the rest of the things so let's not concentrate on that now. You of course you need to install ToolTip01 font to windows

I've been searching for hours trying to find the FilmStudios Font for TheaterView and can't find it anywhere. Where can I find this font to show the Studio Logos on my Movie details page?

User Moe used to serve these images. They seem to be offline now.

[Moe]

Images and font should be back up.  I inadvertently moved a folder into another folder, killing the site.  Had a little freakout but it's all good now. 

Images can be found here https://moesrealm.com/MC/mc-images/
Font can be found here https://moesrealm.com/MC/

[dmillionz]

User Moe used to serve these images. They seem to be offline now.

Moe got the links back up but I must be over looking the Font. I need the FilmStudios Font that references the FilmStudios Font in the TheaterView Template Code. I don't see that at the two links he provided. I have the other Font Moe provided installed and working properly. It shows all the correct icons. The Font that shows the Studio Icons in gray I can't find. That seems to be the only thing missing from my TheaterView setup.

[lepa]

I think that you might be using some older template when there wasn't any images support in MC views.

This post below have template which I am using currently. It uses images for logos.
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,119385.msg860935.html#msg860935
Can also make versio without cast images...

If you insist using font it can be found attached here

Big thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for. I modified the text to match the logos in the Font. Quite a few are missing though. I suppose they will not be added since you switched to the image format? I do like the font look and ability to change the color for my Theater View Style. If no expansion will be done, this will be good for now until I can figure out how to use the image versions.

[lepa]

Images are much simpler. You can go to Tools->Options->TheaterView->Appearance->"... Customize file info panel" and add new field (row in theaterview)
e.g.
Type = "Expression"
Name = "L: Tech Icons Row"
Value = see below code...
Style = "Text Only (no label)"
Show = "Show only in large field" (changing this to "Show only when viewing a file grouping" will hide this row so you don't need to delete all your work in progress if you don't get it right at first time or want to continue on some other time)

(x) hide when value is empty

Images are in MC's data/tooltip folder. Following checks are made to determine which image is wanted to be shown in the code below
1.Check [File Type] and show image for it e.g. "tooltip:container-mkv.png" or "tooltip:container-mp4.png" etc.
2. Check from [Notes] if the movie is HDR and from user field [Definition] in which definition film is presented. Image e.g. "tooltip:definition-1080p.png", "tooltip:definition-4k-hdr.png"
3. Check Aspect ratio from user field  [AR-Calculated] e.g. "tooltip-aspect-1.78.png"
4. Check Channel amount from [Channels] field e.g. "tooltip-speakers-5.png"
5. Check Audio type from [Audio Codec] e.g. "tooltip-audio-dts-hd.png"
6. Check film studios from [Production Companies]. Will show 0-5 film studios e.g. "tooltip-studio-Columbia Pictures.png"

Images are much simpler. You can go to Tools->Options->TheaterView->Appearance->"... Customize file info panel" and add new field (row in theaterview)
e.g.
Type = "Expression"
Name = "L: Tech Icons Row"
Value = see below code...
Style = "Text Only (no label)"
Show = "Show only in large field" (changing this to "Show only when viewing a file grouping" will hide this row so you don't need to delete all your work in progress if you don't get it right at first time or want to continue on some other time)

(x) hide when value is empty

Images are in MC's data/tooltip folder. Following checks are made to determine which image is wanted to be shown in the code below
1.Check [File Type] and show image for it e.g. "tooltip:container-mkv.png" or "tooltip:container-mp4.png" etc.
2. Check from [Notes] if the movie is HDR and from user field [Definition] in which definition film is presented. Image e.g. "tooltip:definition-1080p.png"
3. Check Aspect ratio from user field  [AR-Calculated] e.g. "tooltip-aspect-1.78.png"
4. Check Channel amount from [Channels] field e.g. "tooltip-speakers-5.png"
5. Check Audio type from [Audio Codec] e.g. "tooltip-audio-dts-hd.png"
6. Check film studios from [Production Companies]. Will show 0-5 film studios e.g. "tooltip-studio-Columbia Pictures.png"
7. Check Publisher (Arrow, Criterion etc.) from [Publisher] field e.g. "tooltip-publisher-Arrow.png"...

This is perfect. Thanks for the detailed explanation. My last question is for the Fields Notes, Channels, Production Companies etc, where is the data for these fields coming from? I don't see these Fields in MCRatings and they're not setup in the MC library? I think once I know this part, I can make it happen.

Hi guys,
I've just published MCRatings v3.0 "contagion edition"

Great in so many ways.
I'm now eagerly waiting for Moe, Lepa, and others to help us "expression noobs" to what we have to do to also have cast/crew thumbnails (and other things) on our Theater view.

Zybex also posted this on a separate thread here:

I don't see these Fields in MCRatings and they're not setup in the MC library? I think once I know this part, I can make it happen.

Channels is MC stock field I think and it is populated when MC analyzes the video during import. Notes is also stock field which I have been using to as release info field. Already tinkered this a little and made individual [HDR] checkbox field to so it isn't necessary to compare text strings anymore. Production Companies seems to be populated by MCUtils TMDb script. If you are using just MCRatings you can use e.g. Studios instead.

E: got rid of [Notes] parsing and created [Dolby Vision] checkbox user field

So the end result with these icons looks something like this (flags are misplaced as MC is drawing images always on top the block...)

Hi,
How do I extract the "+Atmos" or "+DTS:X" information populated by Swag of tools in the compression tag?

I would like to add that information in my Theater view and also know how to connect the "+Atmos" or "+DTS:X" information to the corresponding .png in the Tooltip folder.
