awesome thanks

#

but how can i join these together?

#

plot:christmas AND type:movie AND release etc?

rigid bramble
#

yes that works, it gets more confusing with the NOT, but straightforward without it

potent tusk
#

ok

#

does it work with disney movies?

#

can i do plot:disney

rigid bramble
#

type:movie AND (plot:christmas NOT genre:horror) AND release_date:198* - you can use parenthesis to combine like that

#

idk, depends on your metadata, you can also use studio:disney maybe?

#

the list of tags on the movie details should all be clickable

potent tusk
#

ok sweet. i see now in the metadata is walt disney productions

#

does the search need to be studio? or studios with an s

rigid bramble
#

studio

potent tusk
#

ok

rigid bramble
#

so the studio fields are tokenized, meaning you can search for individual words, so studio:disney should work fine

potent tusk
#

oh sweet

#

how can i do multiple studios?

#

do i add a comma?

#

or just keep adding AND

rigid bramble
#

no, use OR like studio:disney OR studio:something, probably need to put parenthesis around it if you combine with other stuff

potent tusk
#

ok nice

shut bough
#

trakt list is another option

#

eg. TheMoodymuck/disney

potent tusk
#

i cant get this to exclude christmas

#

type:movie AND (genre:family NOT plot:christmas) AND release_date:197*

rigid bramble
#

are you sure that the ones making it through have christmas in the plot? the description under the title on the movie details page

#

you could probably do this, depending on your metadata: type:movie AND (genre:family NOT plot:christmas NOT tag:christmas) AND release_date:197*

potent tusk
#

oh, yeah thats the problem. christmas is not a tag in that movie

#

though it is a christmas movie

#

also im only gettimg 50 movies for family so im going to need to add more tags to this smart collection. ill play around with it some more

#

im getting even less with this type:movie AND (genre:family NOT plot:christmas NOT tag:christmas NOT studio:rankin) OR studio:disney OR studio:dream OR studio:wb OR studio:warner OR genre:animation OR genre:comedy OR genre:science AND release_date:197*

#

i thought i would get more with more OR options

#

i only get like 11 movies with that

rigid bramble
#

parenthesis i think type:movie AND ((genre:family NOT plot:christmas NOT tag:christmas NOT studio:rankin) OR studio:disney OR studio:dream OR studio:wb OR studio:warner OR genre:animation OR genre:comedy OR genre:science) AND release_date:197*

#

er, this is probably what you want type:movie AND (genre:family NOT plot:christmas NOT tag:christmas NOT studio:rankin OR studio:disney OR studio:dream OR studio:wb OR studio:warner OR genre:animation OR genre:comedy OR genre:science) AND release_date:197*

potent tusk
#

i thnk your second one will be good but i need to figure out how to block out the rated r movies

rigid bramble
#

type:movie AND (genre:family NOT plot:christmas NOT tag:christmas NOT studio:rankin OR studio:disney OR studio:dream OR studio:wb OR studio:warner OR genre:animation OR genre:comedy OR genre:science) NOT content_rating:"US:R" AND release_date:197*

#

again, depends on your metadata, but you can see what it says on the movie details page

#

and click on it to see the search field, etc

sweet. thanks. with your help i think i have the ultimate family channel with this now
