I'd like to see a fully integrated database that holds all media types and lets you tag/set them as whatever particular data type (or sub type) you want (ie movies/tv/audio/audiobooks/music videos/concert dvds/pictures/comics/etc).
Then the skins could simply create different views that filter/include/exclude your preferred types (including hybrid/multi-type views).

I would recommend RoboRob's solution (which I'm using too).... enter your videos via themoviedb and treat them as movies.... then we can ALL benefit from your work ;-)
Having said that...
I also think TeknoJunky's longer term vision is the right way to go... but skins would have to have a finite number of 'spaces' reserved for your content types e.g. Music Vids, Movies, TV Shows, Music Documentaries (etc etc)... whilst the skin could let you choose ANY filter, there can still only realistically be a number of 'slots' in some UI's before something like the home menu gets out of hand with 200 categories!

Well, that's the main problem, including Music DVD or Concerts inside Movies, it's not right. I have no problem to include the Music DVD or Concert information in themoviedb.org but I have no way to separate it from the movies category, know what I mean?

I want to know if someone on the dev team has any news about this.
I think that this content type is very common today, I would say that 80% of the people who has a built a media center, has Music DVD. It's like music videos...
Hope that this can be done...
Thanks
