Hi! I'm looking for a way to put documentary movies into a different folder but i would like to only match documentary that has only "Documentary" in there genre list, currently I'm using

Code: Select all

{ genres =~ /Documentary/ ? 'Documentary' : '' }
but I like to match Documentary Movies that talks about nature, rather than war & horror documentaries.

:?: Can you provide a specific positive and a specific negative example? i.e. TMDB link for one movie that only has "Documentary" in the genre list, and another that has multiple genres?


In general, Conditional Structures (if-then-else) can be arbitrarily complex and check for multiple things if that's what you want:

Format: Select all

{ genres[0] == 'Documentary' && genres.size() == 1 ? 'Documentary' : 'Other Movie' }

For example this movie
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/576017-for-sama
Is should be a negative match, and this one
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10946-earth
Should be a positive match for the "Documentary" Folder.

Cheers. The code above has been tested with the given movies and works as desired:

Format: Select all

{ genres[0] == 'Documentary' && genres.size() == 1 ? 'Documentary' : 'Other Movie' }
