In my skin, I have something similar for Music. I'm big on Quad/Multi-channel, music, so I added a source display for albums. (icons for things like "Q4", "Q8", "CD-4", "CQ", "SACD", "BDA", "DVDA", "Upmix", etc.)
As there is no field in kodi to store that sort of thing, I require the user to add "(Quad Q4)" or similar to the Album name, and then parse that to determine which (if any) source icon to display for the album.
Since I need to display that at the album level, using filenames doesn't cut it (as there's no file in scope when it lists the artist's albums)
If there was a "source" field in the DB at the album level, and a standard convention on how to populate it (whether that is via NFO, or via a tag on the file, or via filename convention), that would be totally awsome. So if "media source" becomes a thing, I'd like to see it across the board, and not limited to videos. (and maybe a manager similar to the video versions, where you can even dynamically create a new "source type" on the fly would also be awsome)
