Is there a way to "conditionally" goto a screen?

[WannaTheater]

I currently have a movie database that has both .avi and .ifo files. When pressing "Play", control jumps to a screen that has the full "DVD Player" controls. I would like to somehow jump to a DIFFERENT screen based upon the filetype being played (i.e. an AVI player control panel).... without creating a new category.

The reason for this is that some buttons while watching IFO don't make sense while watching AVI (Menu, Next Track, etc). ... basically looking to create a control screen for Zoomplayer in DVD mode, and a separate one for Media Mode.

Does anyone know a way to do this (perhaps with the use of a variable?)

Thanks for all the help!

xPerT plugin implements most common branching commands.

so for example:

"If" - command with parameter:

Code: Select all

[movies>isDVD]|xlobby;goto screen;dvd-player

takes u "dvd-player" screen if current item in movies cat "isDVD"-field has a value other than "" (empty string).

or "IfNot" with parameter:

Code: Select all

[movies>isDVD]|xlobby;goto screen;file-player

takes u screen "file player" if that field has not value.

theres more complex commands like "IfEqual" but i leave those for u to figure out. also u can make more complex expressions mixing them with "call" commands and/or by using nested []-translations.

Heck, u can even do this with "if":

Code: Select all

[movies>player_screen]|xlobby;goto screen;[movies>player_screen]

and im still wondering why nobody uses xPerT

Thanks! I'll check out that plugin!

Or you could use XScript NG plugin and write your own script to do whatever you want...
