For music videos I’ve deleted the Director node and others that have no use.
Easy enough to create new nodes named Concerts instead of Albums, or Videos instead of albums.
It would be worthwhile getting a requirements doc together so we can understand the use cases. I’m happy to contribute. Of course there’s no guarantee anything would be done in Kodi but at least we have something to aim for.
We shouldn’t shoot for the stars, keep the same basic framework Kodi has for Music now, because Music Videos is much more like Music than in Kodi Videos. Removing Music Videos from Videos and into Music seems to me the best way forward. A Music Videonhas all the metadata of a song, it’s just a file that contains video and audio, not just audio.
Poster = Cover it probably doesn’t matter where/what this is called in the database as long as Kodi Music returns the same image json structure to the skin (which could be done in the underlying SQL query) to minimise skinning rework. But if MVs were moved to Music a database update would resolve all that anyway.
