Title: Need help with custom search rule syntax
Post by: bspisak on March 07, 2011, 04:13:46 pm

I'm using Customize View -> Set Rules for Display -> Edit Search and trying to create a Custom rule.

How do I create a rule that will find all files where [Album Artist] = [Artist]?

I've tried:
* [Album Artist]=[Artist]
* albumartist=artist
* =IsEqual([Album Artist],[Artist])

None of them work and the UI converts the first two into Album Artist is Artist and Album Artist contains artist, respectively.

Also, is the wiki page on search rules (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Smartlist_and_Search_-_Rules_and_Modifiers) out of date? It seems the UI takes care of building those expressions now.

Try this:
[=IsEqual([Artist], [Album Artist])]=[1]

...as described here (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_expression_language#Filtering_a_list_of_files_using_a_search_rule).
