Is it possible to use some sort of XML file somewhere to define what ID tags the database should read when files are imported? Mediatomb for example works great - you can assign whatever ID tags you want to read in via an xml file.

The addition of TCON is a great start. I use TCON as a dummy ID tag to separate my music collection (i.e. christmas from the rest). I use TIT1 (grouping) so I can group my music. For example and not to pick on the Rolling Stones. They are a good band but I find it very hard to listen to every track on a whole album. So I set up a groups (tit1) that assigns a "rocking" category (but it could be any word I suppose). So if I want to hear all good rolling stones song I would select using the grouping tag. If I want to listen to them all, I don't select the rocking tag. Kodi still can't handle this TIT1 tag. Is there a way to add TIT1 into the mix?Welcome (back) to Kodi Tommy. Kodi now processes a load more tags than it did. TIT1 is on my list of improvements to come, although I had not thought of using it the way you do. I had thought of it as a WORK tag say to group all the recordings of Beethoven's 9th symphony, but I will keep your use in mind.

Thanks again for taking the initiative to make this program even better!

What I meant was if there are xml files used by kodi to define certain things - I was thinking that an xml file can be used to identify what id tags are to be read by kodi so it builds the library using those xml defined id tags (instead of hard coding like DaveB is doing with this improvement). For example, create an xml file that contains TIT1, TIT3, TBPM, TPUB, TLAN and those tags would be read in when the database is built. Then you can use a library node to define the desired filtered output.
