Import Video Media Sub Type based on Duration
« on: November 25, 2012, 08:01:26 am »
I have a folder structure that contain both movies and TV shows. Is there a way to have MC import the Media Sub Type field based on the duration? I'd like to have all videos less than 1h tagged as TV Show and above 1h as Movie. Can you suggest an expression for this and where to put it in MC?

Thanks.

In your Auto-import rules for the folder tree, create a Media Sub Type rule with the expression:

ifelse(isequal([Media Type], Video),
   if(compare([duration,0], <, 3600), TV Show, Movie))

Thanks! It works perfectly.

Just to clarify for other users, I had to go to Tools -> Options -> Library and Folders -> Configure auto-import. Then on my folder click Commands -> Edit and in the Apply these tags section, click Commands -> Add -> Custom. Select field Media Sub Type and in the value type the expression from MrC.
