As we all now if we add a concerts folder to XBMC library its content will go to movies category and mix among the "real" movies.

So if we have a TV Series category why not a Concerts one? I think that makes no sense at all having an empty videoclip category and not beeing able to create a concerts one.

You son't need new scrappers because both TMDB and IMDB have concerts in it's content.

Hope this could be implemented soon.

Thank you.

@moviemorris:

how did you set up this up? did you use the concert scraper from madmax to scrape your bluray and dvd concerts to an separate category or is it possible to do this in another way?

Is it possible to describe how to set up a separate sub category under movies benewath tv-sereies and the "real" movies?

That would be really great. Because in addition to concerts I have a very huge disney collection for my godchild and i did'nt need these movies between my normal movie covers etc... a separate "subset" would be very nice

thx in advance

edit:
OK sorry I found a solution right here in the forum:

Here is a post I posted in Aeon Nox forum that explains how to create a new section for Documentaries (but can be used for anything)

Quote:Documentary section:

Create a smart playlist of type TV shows with a rule like : path contains "Docos" and test it to make sure it will only display your documentaries.
Once that smart playlist is working fine, use the home menu customizer and add it to the home menu.

TV Section not to display Documentaries:
Create a smart playlist of type TV shows with a rule like : path does not contains "Docos" and test it to make sure it will only display all your TV shows except your documentaries.
Once that smart playlist is working fine, add that playlist as a favorite and use the home menu customizer and change the default behaviour of the "TV Shows" link to point to the new smart playlist.

Of course not all skins will allow you to modify the home menu like aeon nox does, but you get the idea
