indextag with multiple values

[pask]

Dear all,

i have different albums tag values to rate albums, but they are not consistent. they can be 4,5 or 100, both ALBUMRATING or RATING tag

i want to have them all display on my indexTags as one single section= Albums ☆☆☆☆☆

i made a tagUpdate.txt to get a small character in front of every favorite albums with the following :

@ALBUMRATING=5
+ALBUMSTAR=˚

@ALBUMRATING=4
+ALBUMSTAR=˚

@RATING=100
+ALBUMSTAR=˚

under indexTags, I have ALBUMRATING=5:Albums ☆☆☆☆☆

how do I get to have both ALBUMRATING and RATING tag with the value 4,5,100 ?

thanks Minimserver :-)

You can repeat the @ line to match multiple tag values, like this:

@ALBUMRATING=5
@RATING=5
+ALBUMSTAR=˚

@ALBUMRATING=4
@RATING=4
+ALBUMSTAR=˚

@ALBUMRATING=100
@RATING=100
+ALBUMSTAR=˚

Edit: The above doesn't work. See post #6 for a corrected version.

i want all album with both tag ALBUMRATING & RATING with value 4,5,100 to be displayed with "˚" in front of their album's name, and have them all in a section on my library index under Albums ☆☆☆☆☆

it's just too complicated for me

What error message was shown with the red icon?

MinimServer: non-matching '@' instruction in line 2 of /volume1/Music/library/tagUpdate.txt

My apologies. You can repeat @ tags but only for different values of the same tag name, like this:

@ALBUMRATING=5
@ALBUMRATING=4
@ALBUMRATING=100
+ALBUMSTAR=˚

@RATING=5
@RATING=4
@RATING=100
+ALBUMSTAR=˚

Thanks Simon

please, how do I get to have all of these albums all showing under a special indexTags, Albums ☆☆☆☆☆

I'm currently using this index tags: ALBUMRATING=5:Albums ☆☆☆☆☆
I have no idea how to add the RATING tag and the differents values all together

[simoncn]

To have all these albums show under the Albums ☆☆☆☆☆ index, change this:
ALBUMRATING=5:Albums ☆☆☆☆☆
to this:
ALBUMSTAR=☆:Albums ☆☆☆☆☆

To have these albums displayed with ☆ in front of their album name, set the tagFormat property to this:

Album.displayFormat={$albumstar^^ ^$album}

[pask]

amazing Simon,

ALBUMSTAR=˚:Albums ☆☆☆☆☆ was the one
i guess there is a cleaner solution to sort all albums with rating >4 instead of naming all different numbers (created by different tag editors) in the TAGUPDATES.txt file

This has solved my problem, I'm enjoying Minimserver so much
cheers
