Classical music - my ideal hierarchy for Composer, Work and Recordings - jojaspi - 2023-08-22
As a newbie in Kodi I understand that the Musicbrainz - Work (or WorkId) tag (as supported by Picard) is not supported in Kodi... :-(
I would like to be able to present my classical music in the following hierarchy:
Composer
|-Genre
|- Work
|- Recording (or Album)
| - Tracks (= movements)
For instance (fictional example):
Mozart (image)
|- All*
|- Symphonies
| |- All*
| |- Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550
| | |- Abbado, late Mozart Symphonies (image)
| | | | - 01. Symphony nr 40 - I. Molto Allegro
| | | | - 02. Symphony nr 40 - II. Andante
| | | | - 03. Symphony nr 40 - III. Menuetto Allegretto
| | | | - 04. Symphony nr 40 - IV. Finale Allegro Assai
| | |- Hatink, Mozart Symphony nr 40, Opera Ouvertures (image)
| | | | - 06. Symphony nr 40 - I. Molto Allegro
| | | | - 07. Symphony nr 40 - II. Andante
| | | | - 08. Symphony nr 40 - III. Menuetto Allegretto
| | | | - 09. Symphony nr 40 - IV. Finale Allegro Assai
| |- Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551
| | |- Abbado, late Mozart Symphonies (image)
| | | | - 05. Symphony nr 41 - I. Allegro Vivace
| | | | - 06. Symphony nr 41 - II. Andante Cantabile
| | | | - 07. Symphony nr 41 - III. Menuetto Allegretto
| | | | - 08. Symphony nr 41 - IV. Molto Allegreo
|- Chamber Music
As simpler hierarchy I could also live without Genre:
Mozart (image)
|- Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550
| |- Abbado, late Mozart Symphonies (image)
| | | - 01. Symphony nr 40 - I. Molto Allegro
| | | - 02. Symphony nr 40 - II. Andante
| | | - 03. Symphony nr 40 - III. Menuetto Allegretto
| | | - 04. Symphony nr 40 - IV. Finale Allegro Assai
| |- Hatink, Mozart Symphony nr 40, Opera Ouvertures (image)
| | | - 06. Symphony nr 40 - I. Molto Allegro
| | | - 07. Symphony nr 40 - II. Andante
| | | - 08. Symphony nr 40 - III. Menuetto Allegretto
| | | - 09. Symphony nr 40 - IV. Finale Allegro Assai
|- Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551
| |- Abbado, late Mozart Symphonies (image)
| | | - 05. Symphony nr 41 - I. Allegro Vivace
| | | - 06. Symphony nr 41 - II. Andante Cantabile
| | | - 07. Symphony nr 41 - III. Menuetto Allegretto
| | | - 08. Symphony nr 41 - IV. Molto Allegreo
|- Don Giovanni

Anyone any ideas how to accomplish that, or something like that??

I know you haven't gotten reply, as there isn't a good answer. The best I can offer is to experiment with smart playlists and the grouping options. I think an alternative might be with a custom plug-in that leverages python code, but I don't see a good way of doing one that wouldn't have to bring its own "work" database, and how to get that (maybe pull from musicbrainz somehow)?
