#1 I'm running into an issue with my music videos, I have 50+ videos by "weird al" Yankovic and the music video scraper will not add them because the file name don't allow quotation marks in windows. What is the best way to get these into my library?
#2 Is there a way to make my music video library group by artist like it does with just music? I go into my music videos and it's all items sorted by artist but I'd prefer going by artist clicking into that then having just their songs displayed.

What about if you leave the " out and just name them Weird Al Yankovic ...

Thanks for the confirmation.
So I started creating NFO's to overcome this for the time being and the song "Handy" worked fine, showing the correct scrape in Kodi.
Then I tried a few others with NFO's and weird stuff happens, where after the scrape, the artist is showing as a backslash (\), but the song and album image appear ok.
This happened for quite a few other "Weird Al" titles, such as:
Bedrock Anthem, Gump, Smells Like Nirvana, Fat, Eat It, and quite a few more.
Other songs such as Word Crimes and Foil scraped perfectly for the "Mandatory Fun" Album stuff.
Very strange, but thought it worth mentioning as it may be an associated issue.

Yeh Wierd Al is always a strange one that's for sure, the double quotes don't work well with Kodi's scrapers for some reason.
Best thing to do is use an .NFO file. I will write up on the wiki at some point how to do it properly.
