Hi I just bought https://cdon.no/film/chicago-fire-season...t-54161283. Many of the discs contain cross-over episodes with Chicago Med; Chicago PD or something SVU something. What is the best way of organising these episodes? If its a cross-over episode with Chicago Med is it to be seen as bonus material ofChicago Fire some sort, so it should be in a folder labelled S00Exy, or is it an episode of Chicago Med, and should be in a Chicago Med folder with a Season subfolder and a subfolder containing the episode number?

Thanks for your help! :-)
Crossing episodes are a challenge. I don't think the Kodi database will understand when you start placing episodes in crossing folders.
For now, IMO it's best to keep all episodes in their respective folders, and create (smart) playlists manually for the correct sequence of crossing episodes.

S00Exx is usually assigned to TV specials, like Christmas editions or season previews.
Crossover episodes are difficult and not easily accommodated in Kodi (or any media center that I know of). You could use something like this... https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Movie_universe
Thanks guys! Is this also the way to go if I want to create 3rd video type (in addition to Movies and TV Shows) containing Music? It will contain Concert Videos like https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=...3A%20Pulse or video collections like https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=...of%20Bowie  ripped from DVD. In my opinion such material does not logically belong in the Movie or TV Shows categories, and since they are not single video files of individual songs they don't fit in the Music Videos category either I think?
For Music Concerts, go into the Music forum and there is a stickied thread that deals with them.

Basically you need to add them as a movie or tv show as shown at the scraper site and scrape them as normal, then you would create a Custom Home Item for your main menu and use smart playlists to separate them out.
