Hello all,
after years of trying to deal with genres in many mostly frustrating ways + now looking at potentially making my music collection accessible on the go using either Emby or Plex I'm feeling the urge to get a handle on my genre tagging even more.
@trixmoto's
GenreFinder appears to be defunct (at least it's not doing anything for me), so I'm getting desperate enough to try my hand at scripting.
Which sounds like I know anything about it.
Which I don't.
I tried looking at several potential start points dealing with MM scrpting for beginners but so far couldn't make head nor tail of any. But I'm thinking, if someone could help me get the first bits right, I might be able to continue from there.
Basically, all I want to do is build something that will look into a song's genre tagging after play and do simple sh..tuff like
if
Genre contains ("Pop|Rock")
and
Genre !contains ("[Pop/Rock]");
then
alter Genre to {previous content(leave unchanged+append)};"[Pop/Rock]"
to add some classifying "larger style brackets" for interfaces as incapable of fine filtering such as the abovementioned platforms.
(
If I find a way of mastering this simple stage, I'd go for BPM brackets in a later stage as a bonus, like
if
BPM is between x and y
then
set {some_field} to {some_value}
)
Is there a relatively easy way to get this cobbled together? I have no qualms to just add rules later into the script file's body as I think of them (= no need to fiddle any fancy frontend to display in MM itself).
Thank you very much in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
Cheers - LX
