Category depends a bit on the scraper you want to use, and the material you want to add / filter.
Your concerts need to be added as source to the main library (I used movies in this example, but checkout TheConcertDB).
But that does not mean they have to be stored in the same location/ folder as your movies.
You can use what scraper you want. Just make one folder with films and one with concerts.
Add them as separate sources, with their own scraper.
This will make them all show up in (movies) your general library. And they will be mixed.
So here is what i do with Eden and smart playlists:
You basically use the name of a folder in a path as self made genre, or filter. However you call it.
In the smart playlist you pick movies (library) to start filtering in. Then as rule you set only show if the path contains: Concerts/
Note the slash and capital depending on your OS. And give it a name.
Then make another one, with the rule does Not contain: Concerts/
Or you can just use path contains: Movies/ if the concerts folder is not within the movies folder.
So you end up with 2 playlist. One with concerts, one with movies (without concerts) and one general library (containing everything).
That last one you can hide (there is a setting for that in your skin).
And the other two you can put on your home screen instead of the general movies library (not supported by all skins).

Awesome, thanks for the help guys. I finally got it to work...
The problem was the slash at the end of the 'path contains'. I had to use a \ and not a /
Only problem I have now is; In my new smart playlist for movies, I made it sort by 'Title Ascending' and when I go in the folder, all my collections are being shown at the top before all the individual movies.
Is there any way to fix this?
Also, by making the smart playlist for my movies have I lost the option to search by genre etc?

Why do you still try to get it into movies database and then separate it again...
Why don't you use the music video area?
That way you get around all these issues as you don't touch the movies area...
TheConcertDB is a music video scraper, not for movies
