__NOTOC__
As of SVN build 10279 date 2007-09-18, XBMC added the ability to include Music Videos in the [[Video Library|Video]] and [[Music Library|Music Libraries]]. All scanned music videos will show up in both. Music Videos can also be part of [[Playlists#Party Mode Playlist|Party Mode]] and [[Playlists#Smart Playlists|Smart Playlists]]. Playlists containing both music and music videos should be stored in the mixed playlist subfolder under [[The UserData Folder]].

Music Videos support is through a new [[How To use Scrapers|content type]]. Currently you can choose between a MTV scraper or a provided nfo file containing information on the music video.  Failing that it will use the filename as a basis for the database entry (Artistname - Songname).


For further information on Music video nfo files please look here:

The Music video [[Scraper.xml|scraper]] can be found at the following location under the XBMC home directory
/system/scrapers/video/musicvideos.xml


== Music Video nfo scraper workaround ==
The MTV scraper no longer works but you need it for scraping music video nfo files. This is the current workaround:
Find your userdata folder (see http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Profile_Directory), open the Database folder and move or rename Addons.db. Start XBMC and you should get a prompt to disable the MTV scraper. Answer "No". The MTV scraper won't do anything useful, but this should make your .nfo files work.

Introduction

Kodi has the ability to include Music Videos in the Video and Music libraries. All scanned music videos will show up in both. Music Videos can also be part of Party Mode and Smart Playlists. Playlists containing both music and music videos should be stored in the mixed playlist subfolder under the userdata folder.


Naming

Music Video file naming is as follows:

Artist - Title.mkv

NOTE: The space either side of the hyphen is important!


File structure

All music videos should be in a single folder named exactly as the above examples.
