![]() Kodi switches to full screen video playback automatically, just like I am playing a Movie. I can choose to play any track just like playing an audio album. If I take a single big Concert file and create a CUE file at the Chapter breaks, add the Video File and CUE to a new folder under a Music Source and scan with Kod Music, the Concert appears as an Album' under the audio library Artist and shows each chapter as a song. I stumbled across a relatively easy way to get Concerts from my BDV and DVD rips into Kodi's Music library. GOOD NEWS - THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOW SOLVED! I've always split my concerts and just 'lived' with the glitch, but I know some that can't stand the glitch so use a single file and live with not being able to easily play any song at any any time. This is especially the case when playing HD video high bit rate TrueHD/Atmos or DTS-HDMA streams. But Kodi has always had a small glitch (pause) when users play all the concert song files in sequence, as Kodi opens the next video. One way around this is to split a single concert video (mkv file) into chapters, with this a user can jump to any song and create playlists. You get to play the entire concert but its difficult to play a specific song or create play lists containing specific concert 'songs' (example: A David Gilmour playlist with songs from various Pink Floyd and his own solo concerts). The two main problems most have are due to all concerts being sourced as Blu-ray or DVDV conversions (and some TV captures) where the concert is in one single file (Of course a Concert is one long continuous musical event). Some have just settled to get them into the Kodi Movie library or play them as 'files'. users have needed to create NFO files for music videos and concert videos to get them into the Music Video libray. The Kodi Music Video library has only minor updates over the years as its caught between 'Music' and 'Videos' with music video data stored in the Kodi's video database, but the artist meta data in the music db. It requires your collection to be organised by artist, and it writes the NFO file (which is actually XML) and any JPEG and PNG files to the artist's directory.Many of the Music lovers here have struggled at times to get our Concerts into Kodi for playback. So, it should be safe to run on a collection. To its credit, MediaElch didn't modify my audio tags at all, even when I told it to fetch and write all available data. Even with these weaknesses, it can still be useful if you want to frontload artist data before importing your music collection into Kodi. It appears to get artwork only from The Audio DB. But even with all these resources, the scraper returned very little content. Every album I tested also had MusicBrainz tags. It uses the Universal Music Scraper, which can scrape AllMusic, Discogs, and The Audio DB. In practice, however, it doesn't fetch very much data, and there are many gaps. MediaElch also has a music scraper that allows you to fetch art and generate NFO files for artists it can collect folksonomy tags as well. ![]() For example, MediaElch can put all of your movie files into subfolders with one click. Although MediaElch has many of the scraping capabilities of tinyMediaManager, their UIs are quite different, and both apps have distinctive features. ![]() I think you'll appreciate how it displays the artwork for each title as you browse your collection. Once you set your directories and import your library, you can use this tool to manage your collection: change artwork, scrape new additions, edit the data from NFO files, and so on. When your collection changes, you run an update. With this you can scrape your film and TV collection, either interactively or unattended. (And, of course, you don't have to re-download all that art every time.) I like them for creating NFO files and fetching artwork, which greatly increases the speed and accuracy of scanning content into a new Kodi library. They don't have the CLI power and easy renaming of FileBot, but they have more scrapers, and they're designed for browsing and managing collections, not just post-processing them. There are two other cross-platform (Java) apps I use for library management: tinyMediaManager and MediaElch. It's a Java app that's packaged for several platforms. To identify episodes and give them Kodi-friendly names, it can look them up on TheMovieDB, TheTVDB, AniDB, or TVRage. It can even do movie sets and genres, so you can group your Spider-Man titles, or your comedies, or whatever. You can use these options to group your HD and SD videos. It has a a CLI (and a GUI), it's scriptable, and it has many useful options for renaming and sorting. Yes, there are tools that can fulfill what you are asking for.
