[Feat]: Ability to change naming convention for music videos #143

Closed BackedUpBooty closed 1 year ago

BackedUpBooty commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like Although videos are placed in the relevant artist folder, Plex isn't set up to pull a folder name so browsing music videos only show up with "track name-video" which makes it difficult to sort, group by or search by artist.

They're also appended with -video which isn't really necessary, and something I'd like to remove.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context Prefer my videos to be in the {Artist Name} - {Song Name} convention rather than {Song Name}-video format it currently is

RandomNinjaAtk commented 1 year ago

You're supposed to view the videos by browsing your music library and they show up on the artist page, as seen in the following picture: https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/docker-lidarr-extended#audio--video-plex-example

For a library like view, Jellyfin/Emby/Kodi would be the go to platforms because they actually support that feature.

As there are separate volume mappings for /music and /music videos then I'm not following how Plex reads them as just one library. Do you point both the container folders at the same host volume?

RandomNinjaAtk commented 1 year ago

You need to configure the "Global Music Videos Folder" as described here: https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/docker-lidarr-extended/wiki/Extended-Video-Script-Information#q-how-do-i-import-the-music-videos-into-plex

Thanks for the link, that has sorted it.

You may want to consider adding that part of the functionality or the requirement for global folder in Plex to your readme, I wasn't actually aware that Plex could do that.

Otherwise thanks for your continued support!
