How to organise videos on MMA

Post by KiwiBanjo »

Hi, I am running MMW, and have all my videos and audios nicely organised on my computer in folders by topic (basically topic = album), and mavigate the Library by any of Location, Album, or Artist. Mostly by Location because I have audio and video that work together in lessons.

I have recently installed MMA on a Samsung J5 and learned how to sync via USB, and replicate my folder structure and properties. The Audio tracks are all very nicely by Album, Artist, and Artist Album, but the videos are all dumped into a single container and not organised at all - which is why I started using MMA in the first place.

So my question is this: How do I displaty videos by Artist / Album / AlbumArtist and maybe location. Especially in parallel with audio tracks.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Update to my post.
I tried changing the Type on a couple of videos to Music, to see what happened - good and bad results... Yhe good - the videos were displayed according to the categories - Album / Artist / ArtistAlbum correctly. The bad - they only played as audio fles, no video. So that idea won't work.

I remember seeing somewhere an options page that associated specific encoding styles with Music or Video Types. If I can remember where that was, maybe I can trick a video makred as Type=music to play the video content. I'm off to hunt...

This can't be changed. Only Type = Music will get the separate Album, Artist, Genre, etc. treatment.

Thanks Pavle. Do you have any idea when it might be available?

In the meantime, I guess I can always go in through the Folder button

Full Video support is planned for MMA 2.x, but if time and resources permits we will be introducing it earlier.
