Podcast Media Sub Type
« on: February 18, 2014, 02:14:15 pm »

Can we get "Downloaded Podcasts" to only contain files with the "Media Sub Type" tag set to podcast? When I delete this tag, the files still show in "Downloaded Podcasts" so in my case there are hundreds of podcasts listed which is usless. Reason for this is that I often save podcasts but there is no way to hide orphaned podcasts from showing.

Create your own view, call it My Downloaded Podcasts, and setup the file rules you want.  I have one that uses Set rules for file display of:

  (   Web Media URL is not <empty>
       Media Sub Type is Podcast  )

The parens here mean OR.  You could then also add a Custom search rule:

   [=isequal(FileDBLocation(), Podcast, 7)]=0

to exclude those that are downloaded. A downloaded Podcast will appear in the special Podcast database, and FileDBLocation() will indicate this.  You can test this in an expression column:

   isequal(FileDBLocation(), Podcast, 7)

Thanks, yeah, I have custom views that work. It would just be nice if the default downloaded podcast behaved correctly.
