Hi!
I also have some trouble organizing my video library, but I spent some money on a drive so that I could at least keep them all on a single drive.
But sorting videos in folders structures has some issues of it's own, where to put the Action/Comedy, the Romantic/Comedy's (Yes, I admit i have some of those too) Horror/Adventure and so on.
You get the idea. A perfect solution to this would be to have the possibility to add multiple genre on a video file, it won't solve the folder structure issue (exept to put the file in multiple locations) but im not that keen on spending that ammount of money it would take to have duplicates or even more copies of a single file just to cover all the various genres a movie could belong to. IMDB usually suggests up to four (!) genres.
So I stick to my suggestion posted on the suggestions board. -Multiple Genres- OR as a workaround, the possibility to use the comment field on my smart playlists, then i could add any comment I want and filter by it.
I have also played around using the avi. metadata options, (like id3 tags for mp3's) but I have found it to be too complicated and sometimes even impossible, not many programs supports reading this or even less supports writing to it.
After some discussions i ended up with the only 'working' solution, at least as of today, is to sort the files by year of release.
This covers the various situations but is not optimal.
I would love to hear other suggestions or experiences.
