Hi,
I've just learned that Plex now has a totally improved support for music — both audio and video.
I tried to follow this guide: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/205568377-Adding-Local-Artist-and-Music-Videos, in order to add my own music videos, but I'm failing miserably.
First of all, I've added my music collection (audio) to Plex with no problem at all. I've always used iTunes and let it manage my music for me (the tracks are in Users/My User/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Artist/Album/Tracks), so I just added my iTunes folder (Add Library>Music) and everything worked like a charm. I have the correct metadata and everything.
When it comes to music videos though, I have a different system. I keep them in a separated folder (let's say Users/My User/Movies/Music Videos), where I have all the bands organized in subfolders (for instance Users/My User/Movies/Music Videos/Red Hot Chili Peppers). Also, I have some lonely videos that are just inside the main folder, with no specification at all. However, every single file follows the naming rule “Artist - Song”.
I did exactly what the aforementioned page says, from “Global Music Videos Folder” to the bottom, but that guide doesn't cover what kind of media should I add or how to do so. I tried with Music, but it doesn't work — the library looks empty. I tried too using Home Videos, but I don't get any metadata.
So the question is, how can I add those music videos to my library, using the “global music videos folder” system (i.e. not associating every music video to my already existing music library), and getting the right metadata?
Thanks in advance!
