You may want to search further abroad - I've mentioned it in several posts.

Essentially a "root node" in the database can be any category you like - home movies, adult, mainstream movies, tv documentaries, whatever. Currently we have 3 root nodes: Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos. The new library will allow more than one "Movies" node, each named differently, more than one "TV Shows" node, etc. - they're your main categories.

Furthermore, given that the metadata will be completely specifiable by the user, if you want subcategories you have that as well. The database simply takes key,value pairs (in addition to some well-defined common keys, such as genre, group, director, year and so on)

Lastly, you'll be able to browse by your filesystem (with full metadata), so if that's organised how you like, then nothing more to do.

Cheers,
Jonathan
