PoBear 19 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Hi What is the library format for Music Videos? Thanks
Lyfesaver 133 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Hi PoBear. You would think this is an easy question and the answer is "Set it to the library type of Music Videos" as it is one of the options, but truth be told it will not do anything for you. Set it to TV shows and the results will be the same as far as metadata is concerned. If you have the files named properly it will at least show the name, artist and a snapshot of the music video
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Thats not what i see /artistname/videoname/videofile - works fine with the musicvideo library type works for stable and beta server - although the presentation has changes in beta to a more functional layout
Lyfesaver 133 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Ahhh thios is my fault then. I was unaware of such restricted file naming rules. I have my music and music videos in Genre folders with simple naming of Artist - Song.ext. Thanks though for the info @@PenkethBoy I think I might have known this in the past. It is more than likely that I decided to just live with the lack of, or wrong, info in Emby rather than redo my entire library naming system as I would have to change the players in my cars (MXVideoPlayer) and other mobile devices whose players do not have internet data sorting and rely on the ability to press and hold a genre folder and say "Shuffle All". I could manage two libraries of the same files, I suppose, but thats borderline crazy
Lyfesaver 133 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 When importing: Tape Five - Step Into My Time Machine I get:
Lyfesaver 133 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 That image says the song is Killer Bee - Step Into My World, not Tape Five - Step Into My Time Machine. I was just showing my results with my naming not matching the requirements is all. It's not the right song and I would have thought there would be more metadata about the song there. Kind of like how Music does.
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) have you named it correctly - i.e. without the artist name and do you have the imvdb plugin loaded? the "song" name must match exactly whats on imvdb to get a proper match etc and you are using a MV type library and you have setup your metadata downloaders correctly Edited October 17, 2018 by PenkethBoy
Lyfesaver 133 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Yes to all of the above (aside from the naming, which I said would be problematic to change) thats all. No issue. Rules state my naming must follow certain rules and mine dont. I had just forgotten the naming rules were so restrictive is all
Lyfesaver 133 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 @@PenkethBoy once this (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/issues/3207) gets completed, pushed and merged into beta do you think my naming issues will be solved or will still require folder naming?
Luke 42078 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 We don't really do much parsing for music video files names, rather you have to use the metadata editor to enter the artist and/or album names.

Thanks
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 been working for me for many months on both Beta and Stable I dont include the artistname in the MV file name as thats already part of the path Other ways may well work 1
VaporTrail 66 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 @@PenkethBoy Can you please share a screenshot of your Music Videos displayed within Emby beta? I'm curious as to the more functional layout.
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 MV home page has two tabs Videos - all videos - similar to movies Folders - folders view - depends how you have your videos organised as to how many levels you have both have sorting/filtering options Its not a major change but Luke has said more functionality will come in time 2
VaporTrail 66 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Any improvements are most welcome. Thanks for sharing!
