I have many Concerts that are like albums as they have multiple songs.
Album (concert) folder.jpg and fanart.jpg displays in at least some Kodi skins. My only request would be to have an artist.jpg display at the artist level, can’t use folder.jpg as that becomes the concert poster.
For individual music videos I’ve created a few various artists folders with mixed artists. These are grouped by name like Atmos Demos, DTS Demos, 80s Rock etc. That works ok for me.
Maybe one solution would be to allow music audio and videos to reside in the same source and Kodi database with a new type field of audio or video. Scanning based on the file type (audio or video)?
In Kodi Music UI viewing an artist could then show all media for an artist and just play whatever is selected. Art would be shared as it’s just music art. Not separate sources, databases, media types and associated code to maintain.
