After creating nfo files for all my concert folders and files I get this in Kodi Music Video Library views (using Confluence):
Edit: This is using a folder arrangement of '\Music Videos\Artist - ConcertName\' so the cover art and fanart gets displayed in the Kodi Music Video library (3rd image below). The Artist images (first view) come from my Kodi Music Library - which is good and bad. Bad because if I don't have an artist in Music I dont get an image in Music Videos for that artist.

Artists Concerts/Music Videos:
Songs:
Issues:
There are no covers in the list of music videos for the Artist (the 2nd view) - would be nice for the view to find the 'folder.jpg'
There should be a 2nd David Gilmour concert but it has not been scanned by Kodi as it has .vob files. I guess there must be a setting to add .vob to a format for music videos. Anyone know about this. (edit: I converted all my vob DVD files to MKV with a simple batch file and MKVToolnix - now all show in Kodi menus above)
So apart from the two issues above it works quite well (no need for Year as all the songs from each concert were filmed at same time)
My app needs a bit of extra work to grab the Year from the folder name but it created all the nfo files for 150 odd concerts, probably 3000 nfo in no time. I'd like to get it to scrape The Movie Database as they are all there...
