Title: Transferring from Media Browser
Post by: spiggytopes on October 14, 2013, 09:37:23 am

Hi All,

I'd like to make the jump from Media Browser 2.x to JR 19.

As painlessly as possible!

I have my vids in folders on a NAS:

Films
Films DVD
TV
TV DVD
Children ... etc.

When I open Theatre View, I'd like to see:

Films -- TV -- Children -- etc spanning the screen

like the folders, but with DVDs amalgamated with the other non-DVD material.

What I have so far:

I can sort the above folders using the "Filename (path)" field, so I can see F:\ for Films, but how do I tag the files to get them to appear in a folder "Films" in Theatre view?


Cheers.

You haven't shown the full paths, so I can only give you the idea of how to solve the problem.

Use Filename (path), or FileFolder(,x) where x is the correct level, and wrap it with Replace(y, / DVD,) to remove the " DVD" segment so that the Films and Films DVD, etc. will group together.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The paths are:

F:\   Films
G:\   Films DVD

T:\   TV
U:\   TV DVD

K:\    Children

H:\   History


Cheers.

Try using:

   removeleft(replace([Filename (path)], / DVD,), 3)
