As I use Theater View more, I have been building out my 'File Caption' setting.  Thought it might be good for everyone to share what they use to spark ideas.  I mainly use Theater View for movies and TV shows.  Mine is currently:

If(isequal([Media Type],Audio,1),[Track #] [Name] - [Artist],If(isequal([Media Sub Type],TV Show,1),If(isequal([Number Plays],1,3),•,)[Episode] [Name] [Date],If(isequal([Media Sub Type],Music Video,1),[Artist]: [Name],[Name] /([Year]/))))

Which breaks down to:

Audio = [Track #] [Name] - [Artist]
Unwatched TV Show = •[Episode] [Name] [Date]
Watched TV Show = [Episode] [Name] [Date]
Music Video = [Artist]: [Name]
All others = [Name] ([Year])

I hope you don't mind that i blatantly stole your configuration

I was pulling my hair off trying to make a working syntax out of it and your post was a bless from heaven:P

I use for audio

If([disc #]>0,[disc #]:[track #],[track #].)  [Name]    mid(★★★★★,0,[Rating])

Shows disc no if multi-disk, track no, name and stars for rating at the end.

Using v17....I assume this is File Caption under the Theater View/Advanced/File Caption option?  How do you specify a different caption for movies and audio?

Yup that's the one. To specify something different you need to use an if statement as part of the expression such as what bartman01has done. His expression covers audio, tv shows and music videos if you look at it closely. Also stolen by the way but I like to have [] around my track and episode numbers.
