Title: Multiple versions in Theater View
Post by: jsmith967 on November 16, 2019, 11:37:25 am

For a few of my favorite movies, I have multiple versions of it. So some I have a DVD version, Bluray Theatrical, Bluray Extended edition. I do not want these to show up as three separate cover arts in Theater View. Rather, I want one single cover art to show up and after I select that movie, for there to be an option to choose one of the versions. How can I set this up?

Please point me in the right direction if this has been answered!

You will have to tag all of your movies with the same name in some way.  As an example lets say you have three versions of the movie "Aliens".  You could create a new field called [Movie Group] and for all three versions the movie Aliens fill in the [Movie Group] field with a value of "Aliens".  Any movie that you only have one version of, keep the [Movie Group] field empty.

Then in Theater View create a new view and use this expression.

if(isempty([Movie Group], 0), [Name], [Movie Group])

Thank you, This is very helpful. Currently, I have my theater view organizing the display according to Series (in case of multi part series like Aliens or Lord of the Rings). How would I combine your expression with it? The current expression is:

 if(!isempty([Series]), [Series][Episode][Name], [Name])

This should do it

if(!isempty([Series]), [Series][Episode][Name], if(isempty([Movie Group], 0), [Name], [Movie Group]))
