Music Videos support is through a new [[How To use Scrapers|content type]]. The scraper will look for a NFO file containing information on the music video files, failing that it will use the filename as a basis for the database entry (Artistname - Songname).

The filename of the NFO should be the same as the music video file, only replacing the original extension with .nfo
