ke2083 3 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hi! This might be a little esoteric - I have a big collection of films and particularly some of the older/more obscure ones just don't have a release date. Only a year. For example, a movie.nfo will look like this: <movie> <title>Rabbit Fire</title> <originaltitle>Rabbit Fire</originaltitle> <year>1951</year> <premiered /> ... This messes up the display when I want to sort by Date. My only on-screen option is to choose 'Release Date' and it'll sort anything with a release/premiered attribute perfectly... but everything else it just lumps together. Things from the 1920s mingling with obscure stuff from the 1990s. Now, is there a way I can re-map 'Release Date' to just look at the 'Year' attribute, or to use Year as a fall-back for when release/premiered aren't populated? My alternative would be to do something script-y to try to automate updating all the nfo files so that if there's no release date, then write a Release Date based on to 01-01-{year}. I'm using tinyMediaManager to handle the nfo files. Thanks loads and I appreciate your advice. Emby is a brilliant media manager and I really enjoy using it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4328 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Just a hint but you'll likely get better info for this as a TV Series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually do have a premier/release date for that so it sorts correctly. It’s more obscure/older theatrical shorts (eg Bosco, Leon Schlesinger, Walter Lantz) that are causing problems. In those cases organising them into Seasons won’t bring down any more information than I already have thanks you though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
