~expand modifier with multiple fields
« on: January 21, 2025, 04:17:33 pm »
Possible bug?

This works fine - selects a random episode and expands to the whole series:
[Media Sub Type]=[TV Show] ~n=1 ~expand=Series

Shouldn't this select a single season? It seems to always return the same set of mixed files, even files from a different [Media Sub Type]:
[Media Sub Type]=[TV Show] ~n=1 ~expand=Series,Season

Looking at the code I don't see that multiple fields were ever supported.

This here says "~expand=fields", plural, so I assumed it was supported. It's actually returning all files.

Maybe a nice feature to add? I can work around it by creating a calculated field like [Series+Season]="[Series] (S[Season])", and then use it on the ~expand.

I just switched the wiki.

Taking an expression would be slick as well.

~expand="[Artist] - [Album]"
