Hi Guys
I'm using >> OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0-devel-20150820214450-r21229-g5388803
I've found references to this here and there and talk of manual workarounds with NFO files and theconcertdb scraper but still unclear as to best approach.
When adding Concerts:
I go to Videos
Add Videos
Select the folder which contains my approx.75 concerts (each concert in its own folder)
Change content to: Music Videos
It defaults to : theaudiodb
(if you click on "Get More" - there's no more to get / select. So by selecting Music Videos as your content, you can only use theaudiodb scraper
Refresh items in this path: YES
Does the scan and picks up nothing - but at least it places the concert under CONCERTS on my main menu
If however I change content to Movies and re-scan I get the correct results (most of the time and certainly for all the more mainstream stuff)
Problem with this approach is that the concerts do not end up under CONCERTS on my main menu and the only way to access them is via Videos / Files and then drill down to the Concerts folder on my NAS
1. Is there a way to add a concert useful scraper after changing content to Music Videos... seems not? If not, I'll go through the tedious process of uploading manual NFO files
2. Where can I get the NFO files for all my concerts or at least the precise data for the NFO files? Or do they have to be manually created for every concert - major PIA
Appreciate any guidance here - strange that Kodi doesn't support this better
Thank you / Jim
