Music video categorisation

[silverbeetle 3]

Hi Emby Team,

 

I'm a recent Emby convert and am loving it!

One thing I've found no one had done well to date was handle large Music Video libraries and Emby seems to be on track to have a great offering here.

 

I noticed in the release notes for 4.0 the following:

 

• Add tabbed layouts for music videos and home videos

 

Could you clarify what this is and how it is used, I've not been able to find any info either online or digging through the setup options.

 

What I'd ideally want is a way to categorise my music video collection where I have Promos (single song music videos), Concerts, TV Appearances, Bootlegs... Is there a way to apply these sort of categories?

 

In MY ideal world Music Videos would have tabbed options with the default being browse by Artist. In artist you'd have matching vids in the categorised as mentioned above (maybe a scrollable sample with a view all option).

 

Back to the tabs you'd have each of the above categories included for browsing.

I could mock up some ideas if it'd help to clarify.

Hi, it simply means that when you click on the library you get two tabs up top:

 

 

One tab for all videos, the other to browse by folder.

 

I agree an Artist tab would make sense.

Thanks for responding/clarifying the tabs.

 

Any suggestions for the best method to categorise the Music Videos?

eg Promos (single song music videos), Concerts, TV Appearances, Bootlegs

Right now folders are really going to be the only way to do that.

 

Or genres. We can add a Genres tab to the music videos section.
