Hey guys, I have a quick question about the organization of the content we're able to directly mount inside of Kodi.

When I'm importing content from my network during the "Set Content" menu under "This directory contains" you guys give three options - Music Videos - Movies - TV Shows. Is there any way at all to add another option for this pull down menu? I have a collection of Documentaries I'd like to keep separate from the rest of the content. A library of documentaries is very different in nature, where it's a mixture of TV show type folder structure and Movie folder structure in that some documentaries are one file where as other are a collection of files or seasons of documentaries...

Does anyone have any idea of how I could organize this so that it doesn't mess up the rest of the menus and keeps all my documentaries bundled together under some subheading nice and neatly? Would greatly appreciate any input!

The set content, is to align the scrapers to the source material and should fall into one of those categories. As far as I know there isn't a individual document scraper, so most of the videos will likely follow into the 3 categories. Custom video entries (wiki)

Here I have many sources, including documentaries, shorts, genres etc.. Most of my documentary television series have found listings in one of the scrapers and the movies for the most part are found or created without issue. It's the vast collection of single TV shows that is of concern. There is a numbers of ways in which to handle these (searching the message base will bring forth all the options) most are delineated in the wiki's under home videos (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=125614), I've personally found creating a folder in which all my one off TV shows are located under sub folders works well, then link that main folder with favourites is less time consuming than creating a .nfo for each listing.

@PatK - I like you're work around for this problem Pat, seems like it'll have to do for now until another way is implemented into the Kodi software itself. It really is mostly about time saving, specially when you're trying to throw in a large enough library, other wise I wouldn't have even thought to ask on here. There are scrapers that will handle mass libraries of everything from porn to music, but those have been digitally accessible for much longer then documentaries lol. I suppose *.nfo file creating will have to continue being a side project along this great software. I appreciate you taking the time!

As a side note: I found the Add-on:Super Favourites (wiki) to be invaluable in setting up custom folders and sub folders outside of the library, while keeping them accessible with the artwork without specifying a source and denying scrapers etc. (a totally separate drive path outside of Kodi).
