Title: In a serie (tv show):Is it possible use "season" field for the name of the saga?
Post by: cron0sRXR8 on July 06, 2014, 08:32:47 am
For example, in the "dragon ball z" serie (tv show) there are various sagas inside the same serie. Is it possible use the field "season" for write it the text of the saga? for example:

season = "01 - saga of freezer"

If I do it this when I use "get movie & tv info" don't works fine. It only works when I write in "season" field a number (not text).

Is there  any field for write the saga name? Is it necessary create a new field for this?

Thank you!

Your best bet is probably to make a "Story Arc" field. That's what I did.

thank you friend.

If I create a "Saga" field and I want use "panes" view:

Is it possible view the categories like that?:

#number of season# - "name of the saga"

How to do this? any code for do it with a "expression"? Anyone can help me?

Thank you!

You can put in the saga name in the Season field AFTER you have gathered the meta-data.

Your expression would be:
[Season] - [Saga]

To elaborate a tiny bit further, add a Category to the View where you'd like to see this, and choose Expression under Type, then use the simple expression skarsol provided as the Expression to Group By.

You can give it whatever name you want, and then MC will show that as the Category's name in the Panes or whatever.  You could just call this expression "Saga" too for simplicity, or Series, or whatever else you want.

You can, of course, use this to replace showing the two items separately so you don't need to also add Categories for those two fields individually.
