Expressions/Rules requests

[Inker]

Please use this thread to request Parsing Expressions and Logo Rules. Follow-up questions are allowed, any other talk should not go here.

Be as decisive as possible when making a request. Include at least one full example. Be nice and be aware that your request may or may not be fullfilled.

I would suggest that if you fullfill a request, you add it to the exchange thread to keep them all in one place. Simply reply to the requester with a quote and a link to your reply in the exchange thread.

Thank you in advance for any request you might fullfill.

[UPDATE]

There is more and more threads about parsing problems. This is what this thread is for, please use it!

Any further threads about parsing problems that are not in this thread will be deleted.

Also, please if somebody made an expression for you that works, add it to the Expression exchange thread, nobody seems to do this. I know your excited once your series import, but please take 5 minutes so other people won't have to ask the same question again.

Thank you.

but you can do that already for HD Logos, using these 2 rules.

If <Episode.videoHeight> >= 500 AND <Episode.videoWidth> >= 960 AND <Episode.videoHeight> != 720 use HD 540p logo

If <Episode.videoHeight> >= 720 AND <Episode.videoWidth> >= 1280 use HD 720p logo

Genre can be done 2 ways :

1. use dynamic filenames with <Series.Genre>
2. use <Series.Genre> contains 'comedy' etc for each of the logos.

[Inker]

If you want the hd based on the filename, then you can use
If <Episode.Episodefilename> contains 'hdtv'

As state, for genres there are two option, but option one is more convinient. But, and I'm not sure, it will probably not work fully yet as it will look for the exact combination of Genres. So for instance Action,Adventure would not try to load Action.jpg and Adventure.jpg but Action_Adventure.jpg. So for now, use option 2 :-)

Ok, i obviously am not as bright as i thought i was! lol. I am trying to make a logo rule to differentiate episodes backed up to DVD as apposed to eps that are actually on my server. For all episodes that are backed up, i created a standard little avi that says "Please insert relevant TVDVD" and then renamed them with the actual episode names so that My-Tvseries shows what is backed up to DVD in the normal menus. Whats the easiest way to get mytvseries to show a logo for these files? Should i edit the file names and put DVD in them? What would be the logo rule for that then? Any suggestions / advice would be appreciated.

This would be something like:

Type: Logo Rule
DVD-Logo
Description:
Show a DVD-logo if filename contains "DVD"
Expected Filename: static
Rule:

Thumbs\TVSeries\DVD.png;-;<Episode.EpisodeFilename>;-;contains;-;DVD;-;AND;-;;-;=;-;;-;AND;-;;-;=;-;;-;

[G.B. Wolf]

Plugins\Windows\Logos\dolby_logo.png;-;<Episode.AudioChannels>;-;>=;-;6;-;AND;-;;-;=;-;;-;AND;-;;-;=;-;;-;

This should be >=5.

Somehow the aspect ratio rule doesn't work here. Could it be because in the database there is a 1.7xxxx but on my system , is the default character for decimals ? I tried 1.7 and 1,7 as a <= rule but it won't work. For now I had to use a workaround with contains 1.7 but it seems ugly

ccMatrix,

if you are trying to show the 16:9 logo shouldn't you set the ratio to "greater than" 1.7? And not "less than" as you wrote above...
