Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) It says that Music Videos should be organized similarly to Movies in the file system. At least according to this thread: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/674-media-files-folders-structure/ The would mean something like: \\media\music_videos\ \\media\music_videos\Eagles - Hotel California \\media\music_videos\Eagles - Hotel California\video.mp4 \\media\music_videos\Imagine Dragon - Radioactive \\media\music_videos\Imagine Dragon - Radioactive\video.mp4 Is that correct? This can lead to a lot of directories and be difficult to manage over a long period of time. If so wouldn't a better organization be: \\media\music_videos\artist\album\songname.mp4 More in line with the music directory structure? Or even something like: \\media\music\artist\album\videos\songname.mp4 Edited December 10, 2013 by Wayne Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve1977 67 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thanks for implementing musicvideos. Would like to find a way to make it compatible with itunes (all my videos are bought and put in folders via itunes). While musicvideos will be the least used category in MBS, I would assume that the few users with musicvideos also have an itunes-liked structured folder structure. Most important itunes treats music and musicvideos alike, which makes a lot of sense as both relate to an artist. So, this is something I would also like to suggest for MBS. Not sure how exactly this would translate into "real life". But let me share first how it looks like as folder structure: \Music \Artist Name \Album Name 1 1- Song.mp3 2- Song.mp3 \Album Name 2 1- Song.mp3 2- Song.mp3 \Musicvideo Album 1- musicvideo.mp4 2- musicvideo.mp4 Also, MP4 musicvideos actually have tags, so it would be nice to have them read tags first before reading any other metadata provider. What do you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
