How To Populate "Music Videos" under Music

[AgileHumor 123]

I have videos in a subfolder of music...however nothing populates.

I had this issue. I had to go into the server and manually edit the metadata for each video to include the artist name it's associated with.

I don't see a way to add the artist to a video file.  Only movie related things like Studio, etc.

I want my M(e)TV!

I'm not looking forward to having to create all of the meta data for my music videos from scratch.  Maybe someday there will be a proper source for music video metadata.

 

Or maybe someone could rig up an app that can scan your music videos and, based on the filename, create the tag with the artist and title info.  That would be a good start.

Any more details on how Music Videos can be populated?

Is Music Videos not supported?

[Luke 42077]

music videos are covered in the library wiki.

I'm sorry, I consider myself a smart person.  However, Wiki is nowhere in the navigation structure. 

 

A Bing search also is not helpful:

Update, found it here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser/wiki/Library-Structure

 

Looks like a need solo collection for this.

It is also in the KB/General very first entry.

Of what?   Are you pointing me to the same page that I posted a link of...or a new page KB page?

 

My last post of a "solo collection of music videos" was the answer to my problem.  I wanted to help others answer the original question "how do I populate music videos".    No other forum post existed on the topic.

Hi, I have started by structuring my music vids this way (in the wiki), should this then scrape any websites or is it still a manual effort. I can see that it creates a poster image but doesn't fill in anything else in. Wikipedia would be a good method (scrape) as I usually just nick everything from that and google images for poster.
