Hi, first off apologies...i know this has been discussed before (i'm sure i've read every thread)
i'm trying to sort by flac/mp3, which of course is very easy in MC. But...i would like a view that will *only* show flac/wav/dsf when it's there, otherwise show the mp3 (even better, the highest bitrate mp3 LOL)
i have it configured perfect on MC but this is for my DLNA devices. i've been working with stacks, it appears that something disrespects my stacking in the DLNA chain, can't get it working at all (although the stacks look fine in MC).
my ideas were:
1. make a custom tag that assigns a number to each format/bitrate and use an expression to preferentially drill down until a number is found in the tag. however i haven't been able to make it work.
2. figure out some sort of complex expression to just look for the file type itself (similar to 1. but seems more complex to me)
i'm not interested in changing the album tag with [flac] or whatever, and i'm currently using a view that show just flac/wav, and a separate view that shows mp3 that is sorted by bitrate. this works great but looks garbage on the WDTV and is hard to navigate on the receivers.
anyways, any suggestions are most appreciated...if someone thinks an expression is possible, even just a hint or starting point is fine, as i'm working to learn more of the expression language anyways
thanks JRiver folks!
