tagFormat problem

[scriptease]

Hello, i´m, getting mad here and can´t figure out what´s going wrong:

Iv got the full version (regged yesterday).

itemTags: date,album,albumartist

tagFormat: Album.displayFormat={$date^^ - ^}{$album$}
or
tagFormat: Album.displayFormat={$Date^ - ^$Album$}
or whatever

i always get: Syntax error for 'Album.displayFormat' in property 'tagFormat'
It doesn´t matter what i put on tagFormat, i always get an error.

and i don´t know why.

server is running on a Synology DS223j, minim watch on pc.

The problem is $album$ and $Album$. I think you meant $album or $Album (both are equivalent).

I better describe what I want to do:

- I use Discogs_Genre for my genres (Which have only one tag each, as e.g. “Techno”).

-The goal is to get a structure in BubbleUpnp, so that I can only select folder and genre (discogs_genre) and when selecting folder, the folder structure and when selecting genre, I end up in discogs_genre. there again, only one folder should exist (only the genre, read as a tag).

-when i go to genre (discogs_genre), i want to see the subfolders in the form of albumartists and nothing else.

-below that, on the next level, I want to see the albums in the format: date - album.

Everything else should disappear at all levels

That's it .

In foobar it looks like that: %<discogs_genre>%\%album artist%\%date% - %album%\[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%.%track artist% - %title%

that would be the thing i´d love to get.


so far if got for...

indexTags: discogs_genre:Genre.albumartist:Artist
itemTags: date, album
tagFormat: album.displayFormat={$date^$album^ - ^}

but thats not perfect.

Thanks for the clear description of what you would like. This is sometimes referred to as a "drill hierarchy." MinimServer uses intelligent browsing, which shows all available tag choices at all levels. For details of how this works, see this section. Excluding available tag choices from the browsing selection is not possible. MinimServer also supports folder browsing via the [folder view] top-level index selection.

Ok that doesn´t help really - guess that means rtfm

You can still browse as you want but you will not see things "disappear" as you go through the browsing steps. Try it and see how it feels.
