Album list view for single genre?

If it is possible to do, what would be the syntax to have  an album list view set to show a single genre?

I normally browse by artist-->albums with this:

$if($stricmp($substr(%album artist%,1,4),'The '),$stripprefix(%album artist%)', The',%album artist%)|%album%|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%

I would like to basically replicate this view, just limiting it to a single, given genre (in my case the genre would be 5.1).

I have tried reading the wiki but found few examples of this conditionals use... plus I'm dumb, quite likely. ;D

Hi there,

I'm not sure you need that first $if - you could use $swapprefix to put 'The' at the end, if that is what you were trying to get.

To show a single genre, wrap the entire view pattern in an $if test for that genre - $strstr will test for partial match (so multi-value genre tags get included), or $strcmp for exact match (single value tag) -

Code: [Select]
$if($strstr(%genre%,5.1),$swapprefix(%album artist%,The)|%album%|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%)

(I'm not on PC to test this but it should work)
