Artist Detail UI: Music Video genres included at artist level.

[Vicpa 611]

Hi

Does the inclusion of music video genres at the artist level make sense?

As you can see above, emby is including a linked music video genre under Adele "Drama, Music"

My thoughts are no...

1) video genres are different than music genres. I would never and don't use "Music" or "Drama" as a genre in my music library I do use them as video genres.

2) there is a limit on the # of genre displayed, It would be unfortunate if a music genre was hidden by counting video genres towards that limit.

Thanks

HI, it's generic and incorporates anything the artist is tagged on. Some users actually have artists with only music videos.

Hi 

That is the question?

1) Why does the "artist" view keep getting more and more generic? 

There is a perfectly good Music Video View.

It has all kinds of great option. Videos, Artists, Genres, folder

If have performers with only music videos, Logically I would expect this Library view would be the one you would use. 

2) Mixing video genres and music genres is problematic at best. It is an apples and orange thing.

3) Showing video genres at the individual level would not be an expected result for me.

It is exactly the same as an actor, I would not expect to see genres for an actor based on the films/videos they appear in.
