That's a lot of work when you have hundreds of movies. Is there a more efficient solution to get the media type flags/icons visibile? I tried to rename the root folder in which my movies are stored in separate subfolders, but that didn't work unfortunately.

I feel your pain, with over two thousand movies and fifteen thousand tv episodes I wouldn't even consider renaming all those files not to mention their nfo and art, as originally proposed. It's a long story beginning with the introduction of the
WebTV flag that gets us to this point, anyway that's a story for another day. Luckily latts included code that allows for the entire path to be considered thus opening the door to many creative solutions.
I just did a little test where I created a new folder inside an existing source directory and named it
Whatever .web I then removed a couple titles from my library, then physically moved those titles (in their folders) to the newly created folder and ran 'Clean Library' and closed Kodi. After restarting Kodi and
rescanning the titles I had moved, they now display the "WebTV" media flag.
The designator (
.Web .DVD .Bluray) only need be somewhere in the file name or the file's path as scanned into the Kodi DB. A look at the code will verify this. So basically any folder anywhere inside or below a source directory will work if it include a designator. Renaming folders higher than or outside of the source directory will have no effect.
The designators are not case sensitive however they
must start with a period. So,
.web or
.WEB or
.Web are all fine but
web or
WEB or
Web are not.
Also you can use variants, some I have tested are
.webDL .webrip .web-rip .DVDRip .dvd-rip .BlurayRip .bluray-rip .BDrip all work. Any
.designator followed by other text should work provided it is or looks like one word without spaces.
Keep trying because it does work and with a little imagination and some experimentation you'll come up with a strategy that works for you.
