Treat videos similar to TV Shows to get Custom categories?

With Library vs Files merge in progress I thought it might be interesting if all video content would be treated similar to TV Show, thus allowing for 2 addition layers that could be used as Custom categories E.g.

TVShow == Video sources (USB, NAS, MyServer3..)
-> Season == Custom categories
-- >Episodes == Movie titles

applicable to non library videos, too.

No need for ext. manager if we use folder names for categories (like season1..). Ability to flatten (always, never, only if 1 season) is there for those that would prefer it. We have fanart and thumbs support on all layers with TVShows.

You can already do that with the existing file node, the difference is you don't have an metadata at those "category" nodes as there is no metadata available.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.
