%releasedate%{ (%originaldate|!=releasedate%)}
I want to have the releasedate and originaldate in the same row. For ex:
2021 (1967)
But i want the orignal date left empty if it matches the release date. Essentially if its not a reissue.
Did i write the string out correctly? Thanks!
Did you get this working? I recreated this string & in theory it works (NPS Preview) but on my library it doesn’t.
This implies i may have an error un my tags but the releasedate& originaldate appear in my album about section no problem
For this album
Releasedate= 1984-10-31
Originaldate= 1984-07-16
Neither of these dates appears for any track in this album which is particularly odd for releasedate as I usually tag the same releasedate to every song on the album.
I also use the releasetime tag though so maybe that’s whats breaking something behind the scenes
It can’t work since you have nothing before the !=
Same for me
Ok, does this look better?
%releasedate%{ (%originaldate|originaldate!=releasedate%)}
One thing I’ve been wracking my head trying to figure out, how do you get the rating stars and other information on the same line. I’m trying to make a Pexanp Clone and the rating line looks like mp3 ***** 320. Any help would be appreciated.
I think what you’re looking for is the line alignment
The horizontal line alignment option “space between” will allow you to have multiple bits of info on one line but spaced apart
Can you send a screenshot of your setup though. Might be easier for me tonget a grasp of the goal

I’m trying to get codec on the left of the rating bar and bitrate on the right
I can’t see this image can you try to re add it?
I just uploaded the image to imgur and edited the post. I actually think what I want isn’t possible but its fine I like my now playing well enough
Here’s my Plexamp Improved Screen

Ah, I see. Well technically what you want is possible, but not by using the rating bar element itself.
THIS is my NPS
I’m using some custom string templates to display special characters (stars) so that I could display my ratings in a different way. The CON here is you can’t directly interact with the rating tag from these characters. But this could give you the aesthetic you were looking for.
I don’t set my ratings in symfonium so the pros outweighed the cons in my case.
To save you some time I pulled the portion that displays my ratings. Please keep in mind if / when you enter this into symfonium it needs to be all on one line without the breaks (new line that results from hitting enter), it’s just slightly easier to understand one line at a time.
{☆☆☆☆☆%|userrating.5=="0"%}
{☆☆☆☆★%|userrating.5=="1"%}
{☆☆☆★★%|userrating.5=="2"%}
{☆☆★★★%|userrating.5=="3"%}
{☆★★★★%|userrating.5=="4"%}
{★★★★★%|userrating.5=="5"%}
Wow thanks for that. I do rate my songs in Symfonium so I’ll keep it as is but this is helpful to understand some different custom strings.
Circling back to this as I thought you had figured it out but please do me a favor & test a
few simple strings on your end & let me know your results P/F
TEST 1
{%releasedate%} {(%originaldate%)}
TEST 2
%originaldate%
TEST 3
%releasedate%
In my case My preview screen is showing me what I expect by my NPS never does.
In other words all 3 of these tests failed on my end.
This leads me to believe I have a tag issue but I’m not totally sure yet.
This is how my files are tagged in MP3TAG & how they appear in symfonium
Ha, i have not figured it out still. But I’m waiting for lms next update because i think they’re tweaking how they read originaldate to be more in line with symfonium. Maybe that will solve it.
Nope, none of those work for me still. I’m very perplexed by this.
