I attached a screenshot of what I want.
I added 480P, 1080P and 4K over the top of a couple of the video listings.
Can this be done?

How are all of you sorting your various various movies like this?
I don't mind 1080P and 4K being mixed together but really want to keep the 480P separate somehow.

There may be some sort of photo-editor program that allows mass editing of pictures to add overlay resolution info on top.
Because my movies are in their own folders on my hard drive.  480P, 1080P and 4K are all in separate folders.
Kind of hoping for an in-software solution instead though.

You can instead show it on the Thumbnail text - this is editable via the Thumbnails menu.
You can have an Expression to display the [Dimensions] field, or you can create a new field with 1920p/720p/480p/etc in it, and display that instead.

This is my current expression:

Code: [Select]

[Name]
listbuild(1,/ •/ ,[IMDb Rating],[MPAA Rating],FormatDate(Math([Duration,0]/86400+30/86400),H:mm)m,[Resolution])
Where [Resolution] is a computed field with this expression:

Code: [Select]

ifcase([height],6,1200,4K,750,1080p,600,720p,400,480p,200,SD,0,[height])
Here's how it looks [screenshot has a typo, it says 1920p instead of 1080p]:

As for separating them, you can just create different Playlists to hold your different movies, or create Smartlists to automatically separate them by some logic (like for instance, by resolution)

Hey thanks, zybex!  Your configuration looks impressive. 
I will dive in and learn more, now that I know what I want in this regard is possible!

You can also just search.  Not all tags are automatically searched, but you can edit the tag to make it searchable.

If you really want it overlaid on the poster, you can do that using a batch file and ImageMagick.  The batch processing can be integrated into MC using Send To.

Or if you are using Standard View, you could just add a top level Category using Zybex's expression to Group movies by their format, or any variation you wished. Such as the quick View I created in the attached image.

I'm not sure that 1920p is the correct definition for movies over 750 pixels high though. Maybe that was supposed to be 1080p? There was some great discussion a while back about classification of formats based on the [Height] and [Width] fields, where actual video sizes are pretty random. i.e. 1920x800

Yeah, that's a typo. I actually use icons on the tooltip, and when changing/testing the expression for this post I made the typo. It should say 1080p.
