Displaying ItemCount in thumbnail view?
« on: October 10, 2021, 05:04:52 pm »

I currently use an expression based thumbnail view for movies to display them either by title or grouped by series tag:

Code: [Select]
if([Series],[Series],[Name])


I would like to append the number of items in the series (if it is a series) to the displayed title. I have tried using ItemCount() to display the number of items in the series but this does not seem to work:

Code: [Select]
if([Series],[Series] ItemCount(/[Series/]),[Name])


I understand that ItemCount() works in the context of files so in a grouped library view this doesn't really apply. Is there a way to display the number of files in the series, i.e. Mission Impossible (6), The Mummy (3), etc., in thumbnail view?

Set the thumbnail text and use GroupCount().

It should show the number of files in a grouping.

I use the following (see attachment) to display Season and Episode counts, might be similar to what you want to achieve.
