As of SVN build 10279 date 2007-09-18, XBMC added 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.
