Title: Movie title field
Post by: redwing on October 12, 2013, 06:14:43 PM

I'm working on a TM view for soundtracks. Can you support a TM "field" that can populate "movie title" saved in the user's soundtrack mapping file?

I wish it would populate <album> instead when <movie title> is null, for the TM view to work for non-soundtracks as well.

will it work as you want if it only returns a value if MB is treating the file as a soundtrack?

You mean otherwise it returns null? Then it won't be able to retrieve <album> field for non-soundtrack files.

so you want it to behave like <Album> except if there is a movie title, and if so then use that

Tried <element type="Field" id="movieOrAlbum">, but it populates nothing both for soundtracks and for non-soundtracks.

i have re-compiled all the programs and re-uploaded again. Its working fine for me and should work

Yes, now it works. Thanks!
But it returns null when used as child element for next track(Tracks[1]). Can you support that?

there is no obvious reason why it wouldnt work as its the same code as the main field. I dont really have time to dig into it so it will stay unsolved

dont worry - i figured it out but wont post an update just yet

Great!

BTW during my test, I noticed lots of wrong pictures are retrieved especially for obscure artists like classical musicians. They are coming from Flickr, right? What if the site's removed from TM gallery sources since there's no way to control it with TM?

Now the new field's working perfect. Thanks!
