theater view captions
« on: October 30, 2008, 07:30:33 am »

is there a way to view different captions under different files.

for instance, if it is a television show i want the caption to be [Name] but if it's a music file, I might want it to be [Artist] - [Title] or if it is a movie, I may want it [Name] ([Year]) or something. is this possible to customize?

You can use expressions.

For example:
If(IsEqual([Media Type], Audio), Audio: [Name], Other: [Name])

(p.s. the input box should be switched the expression editor that offers context sensitive help, etc.)

Here's the one I'm using. I have made my own "Video Type" tag, so you have to add it or modify some ot the expression to make it work. It works for Music, Music Videos, Series, Movies etc. Only thing I've not added are picture caption.


If(IsEqual([Media Type], Audio),[Name] - [Artist] - /([Album]/)   //   Rating: [Rating],If(IsEqual([Video Type], Series),If(IsEmpty([Name]),S[Season]E[Episode]/ (NP:[Number Plays]/),S[Season]E[Episode]/ (NP:[Number Plays]/) - [Name]),If(IsEqual([Video Type], Music Videos),If(IsEmpty([Artists]),[Artist] - [Name],[Artists] - [Name]),If(IsEqual([Video Type], Conserts),[Artist] - [Name],If(IsEqual([Video Type], Standup),If(IsEmpty([Season]),[Name]/ (NP:[Number Plays]/),[Name] - S[Season]E[Episode]/ (NP:[Number Plays]/)),[Name])))))
