I need a simple expression!
« on: August 24, 2014, 05:03:52 am »

Hi,

I want make a groping with "Series" but I want also that j river show this information on the top with this format:

"[series] - [saga]"

Example: "Dragon Ball Z - The Planet Namek"

I've created the saga tag and works fine. I only need show the name of the saga in the top. I will select "group by.." and I will select custom. What is the code of "custom" for do it this? :P

Thank you!!!

I think cron0 is talking about the group header...

cron0, you need to first create a new library field...
Tools > Options > Library and Folders > Manage library fields.
Add new field, call it what you like.
Select the "Calculated Data" option.
Enter [series] - [saga] in the expression field and ok all the way out.

Back in your view, from the header menu, select Group by > More (sort groups a-z) > pick the field you just created above.

better?

exactly!!! thank you!!!
I want this: [series] - [season] - [saga]

(I need add season for get the correct order in the series). But in the films that not have season/series/saga I get only "- -"

is it possible delete this "- -"? :P

if is not possible it doesn't matter.

thank you!

You can use the same field, just go in and edit the expression, the header will update automatically with the new data.

Try this:
Code: [Select]
if(isempty([series]),[name],[series] - [season] - [saga])If series is empty, it will use Name, otherwise, it will use [series] - [season] - [saga]

If you would prefer there to be nothing for those, try this instead:
Code: [Select]
if(isempty([series]),/ ,[series] - [season] - [saga])
A better option may be to limit the view to show only files that have the [series], [season] and [saga] fields populated. You would do that using the "Customise View > Set rules for file display" option. In there, add a rule that states "Series | Is Not | Empty"

Thank you!

I prefer this code:

if(isempty([series]),/ ,[series] - [season] - [saga])

but I have another problem now:

When I have a video-file that have the tag "serie" and it not have the tag "season" or "saga" I get a similar problem:

I get this: "seriename - - "
or I get this: "seriename - 01 - "

I preffer not see the "- -" or " -"

Is it posible delete this also? :D

Thank you master!

PS: I cant use the option for to limit the view using "rules for file display" options because I'm using a view based in the location in the "panes":

Panes:
"location (D:\my videos\)"
"rating"

set rules for display:
~sort=[Series],[Season],[Episode],[Name]

So, I don't want apply the same "rules" for all sub-folders.

Try that:
if(isempty([series]),/ ,[series]if(isempty([season]),,/ - [season])if(isempty([saga]),,/ - [saga]))

You may have already found it, but if you (or anyone else reading) is looking to get a handle on the expression language, this page http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_expression_language is extremely useful.

Code: [Select]
if(!isempty([series]),
    if(!isempty([season]),
        if(!isempty([saga]),
            [series] - [season] - [saga],
            [series] - [season]
        ),
        if(!isempty([saga]),
            [series] - [saga],
            [series]
),
    ),
   /
)

Untested.

Thank you marko! I've try it and works very fine! This is exactly what I was looking for!

I know the existence of of MC expression language but i'm not a programmer (i only know a little of C :P). So it's very complicated for me :P


Code: [Select]
if(!isempty([series]),
    if(!isempty([season]),
        if(!isempty([saga]),
            [series] - [season] - [saga],
            [series] - [season]
        ),
        if(!isempty([saga]),
            [series] - [saga],
            [series]
),
    ),
   /
)

Untested.

Thank you for your code BryanC.

Unfortunately it doesn't works. i get "0!", "1!" groups for any folders. But don't worry friend, it doesn't matter, now it's solved.
