Introduction

The Music Video library uses the Video Library database. Music Video entries displayed in Kodi can also access information from the Music Library if the same artist and album that contains the music video song is also in the Music Library.


nfo Name and Location

Regardless of what settings you have set for the source and scraper, Kodi will always search for and scan the nfo file first where available.

Music Videos require one nfo for each music video in the folder. These nfo files need to be named exactly as the Music Video file is named, but with the nfo extension.

The below image shows an example of correct naming and placement of the artwork alongside the nfo file and the Music Video media file.

  • Correct naming and placement of media, nfo and artwork files.
