Theater View - Changing details
« on: April 11, 2012, 05:15:03 pm »

I'm tweaking how TV Shows will appear in Theater View.  I've modified The Series Detail under Video/Shows to further break down by season (added Season).    It now is organized the way I want, but I'd like to adjust how it displays.  Currently it shows the seasons, but it appears like:
1    2    3    4
etc.

What I'd like is:
Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
etc. and if there's only one season it doesn't show seasons at all.

Is there a way to do this?

Use an Expression rather than Field-type Category: 'Season [Season]'. This won't change the behaviour of skipping the category if there is only one value.

Can this be a default setting?  I have no idea how to setup an expression.

Edit your [Season] Category. Change its Type to 'Expression'. Name it 'Season'. Type 'Season [Season]' in the expression window. Click 'OK'.

That works. I found that I had to change the name of the Detail from the default of Expressions to Seasons so that the All icon would show properly "All seasons (4)" instead of "All Expressions (4)".

It isn't arraigned vertically but I can live with that.

If you want that, you have to change the List Style. You find it under the "More" item on the top roller.

That's what I meant by "Name it 'Season'." ;)
