I have been actively looking at all the cool features coming up in Gotham, but haven't seen any mention of changes to the way Music Videos/Concerts are handled.
I do appreciate the changes to the handling of Music in Gotham using Musicbrainz, and the issues that it is causing as seen in the post "Musicbrainz-chaos"...

I myself have brought up a few threads regarding the problems with Music Videos, and some solutions/workarounds...

So I was curious if there was any kind of improvement with the Music Videos/Concerts in Gotham?
If your looking for Ideas (probably too late for Gotham, but maybe the next release), I still believe that Music Videos should be hooked into the Music Library, as they would share the same Artist, Album, Fanart, etc.
So if you had the Song Katy Perry - Roar.mp3 (fully tagged with Musicbrainz), and you had the Music Video of Katy Perry - Roar.mp4 (or MKV, MPG, Avi, etc), that they could share all the Artist posters, Fanart, Album Art, Bio, etc.
With this kind of setup, you could probably combine the separate folders, so instead of Music, and Music Videos it would look something like this...
D:\Music\Katy Perry\2013 - Prism\"all music stored here (.mp3, .flc, .ape, etc)"
D:\Music\Katy Perry\2013 - Prism\extrafanart\
D:\Music\Katy Perry\2013 - Prism\Music Videos\"associated with this album"
