Clever. I'm going to play with this with the wifey gives up the HTPC. Is this the suggestion you refer to, or the expression part of that post that results in that screenshot?
Just record [Series] for those that are part of a series (e.g., "Harry Potter"). Then use [Series] in a new view—just like you now use [Keywords].
Quick question, would the series movies still show in this order if the title of each series didn't also follow alphabetically.
What i mean is, "Harry Potter and the ..." falls within the list the same as the series Harry Potter, obviously, and I can see that the titles themselves are not alphabetical, so I assume that if you took the "Harry Potter and the" part off of the title name of those files (leaving only "The Chamber of Secrets" for example) would that title still fall in the same place in your screenshot, because of the series?
does that make Sense?
If so, is there a way to have it show the series information prior to the title, like Harry Potter: The Chamber of Secrets ([Series]: [Title]) but only where series is not null? is that what the expression would do?
Basically, I ask because (for example)
The Lord of the Rings is the Series
The Fellowship of the Ring is the title of 2 movies (how to handle disc1/2?)
So, would "The Fellowship ..." show up in the L's or the F's? I assume the L's, which is correct, but this...
Live Free or Die Hard
Logan's Run
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Fellowship of the Ring
Lovely Bones
The Matrix
...might be a bit confusing to some, and to guests.
Live Free or Die Hard
Logan's Run
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Lovely Bones
The Matrix
may be better, but I don't know how hard/possible it would be.
thanks.
