I have gone the route of manually changing my concert files because I never could get a scraper to work. Question please – does changing the content of a folder do anything if the folder is set to scan NFOs locally? I’m trying to get my Concert folder to link to “concerts” on the main screen and I thought changing the content to “music video” might work.
Which leads to a 2nd question. Do I need to do anything special to get the NFOs that I create to be read? I played around with how I labeled them when I save them, but XBMC seems to only want to read the folder name. I have “use folder names for look ups” unchecked.
I have added the posters for my concert collection and XBMC is displaying them, but it is not displaying much else, such as fan art. I feel like I have something checked off incorrectly.

You do need to set you source to music video to get the concert menu views. fanart.jpg and folder.jpg (or png) in the same folder as the media file should be picked up. I think mediafilename-poster.jpg and mediafilename-fanart.jpg should also work. Music video has the concept of "Artist", but the art for artists comes from the music library. It also has the concept of "Album", but there isn't any way to set art for the album.
Like all video the option to capture a frame that will be used as the media file thumb is available.

So I have made some progress with the fanart. As mentioned I can see my posters. I can now see some of my fanart when I label it simply as fanart. I swear I had it this way before but... The fanart shows up in Aeon but does not show in Confluence. Not a big deal. But how do I get my concert screen to more like what Devilshura's??
Right now I'm in list view and will see my poster as a cd on the right of the list. Very dark but in the background I can see my fanart pan around, but not clearly. I tried most of the switches but see little change. I have default fanart and extra off, and reserve is on.
I don't know how to take a screen shot that shows what I currently have.

litfoo, choose local information only scraper, if you have nfo files.

Sorted it - I needed to scan recursively to pick up my nfos

Question - what is it about the default 'Concerts' menu that comes as standard with MQ5 that it lists/shows the music videos / concerts?

yes, music videos = concerts.
