The Video Library, one of the XBMC databases, allows the organization of your video content by information associated with the video files themselves.
This information can be obtained in various different ways, like through [[How To use Scrapers|Scrapers]] (ie. [[Movies (Video Library)|Movies]], [[TV Shows (Video Library)|TV shows]] and [[Music Videos]]) and [[NFO files]]. Library view allows you to browse your video content by things such as; Genre, Title, Year, Actors and Directors.
