Multiple version of a music video

[kaledi 41]

I've decided to better currate my music videos.

I'ev takent he ame approach as used for movies

Artist>Track>file

This is fine, except if I have multiple version of the same song.

With movies if you use the following

name - version.mkv

then the library will correctly recognise that they should be grouped (e.g. different cuts, or bit rates / resoultions encoded)

With music videos I can get the videos to group, however, the first video is used to identify the song name and uses the full filename for the purpose

e.g.

name - version1.mkv will be seen in the library as shown

name - version2.mkv is grouped with version 1, but the song name is as above so the dash doesn't signal boundary for the library to stop for naming.

Any suggestions?  I know I can metadata edit, but I have a lot of songs and this would take for ever.

Hi, can you give a specific example? Thanks.

Sure for example

Artist>

Track>

track - (24fps).mkv

track - (25fps).mkv

track - (remix) - (25fps).mkv

 

I've also put the year into the title

 

Track (1996)>

track (1996) - (24fps).mkv

track (1996) - (25fps).mkv

track (1996) - (remix) - (25fps).mkv

 

 

The particular example above is an odd one as I have two versions that have been encoded at different frame rates, but less usual is having a remix version, or alternative version.

 

No matter what I've attempted, the track displays in library as track - (24fps)

I would try again with the next release as I think there were some small adjustments to this, if I recall.

 

if it still shows that way after that, then it must not match exactly and we'll need to look at an actual example, as this is still just a general one. Thanks.
