![]() ![]() You get to play the entire concert but its difficult to play a specific song or create play lists containing specific concert 'songs' (example: A David Gilmour playlist with songs from various Pink Floyd and his own solo concerts). One way around this is to split a single concert video (mkv file) into chapters, with this a user can jump to any song and create playlists. But Kodi has always had a small glitch (pause) when users play all the concert song files in sequence, as Kodi opens the next video. This is especially the case when playing HD video high bit rate TrueHD/Atmos or DTS-HDMA streams. GOOD NEWS - THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOW SOLVED! I've always split my concerts and just 'lived' with the glitch, but I know some that can't stand the glitch so use a single file and live with not being able to easily play any song at any any time. I stumbled across a relatively easy way to get Concerts from my BDV and DVD rips into Kodi's Music library. If I take a single big Concert file and create a CUE file at the Chapter breaks, add the Video File and CUE to a new folder under a Music Source and scan with Kod Music, the Concert appears as an Album' under the audio library Artist and shows each chapter as a song. I can choose to play any track just like playing an audio album. Kodi switches to full screen video playback automatically, just like I am playing a Movie. If I have 'Auto Play next' enabled, there is no glitch between songs/chapters. My iphone/iPad remote apps can play all of my concerts as a complete album OR I can pick and choose which songs to play, queue my favorites etc. I've done this with a fresh Kodi 19.1 install with no Kodi customization. Here's screen shots (Aeon Nox Silvo skin): #Tinymediamanager config.xml install Music Media Helper also has a tool to create M3U saved playlists (supported by Kodi) that can contain a mixture of audio and video files and I'm just adding support to add a songs embedded in a single concert MKV with multiple chapters. With this CUE discovery I can now do everything I want with my Concert Videos in the Kodi Music library! (Whoa!). I'm hoping our resident music Devs can take a look at this as now Music Videos can reside within music database and maybe there's now more that can be done to integrate concerts into the Music world (an easy way to identify 'audio only' and 'music video'?). Happy Days concert & Music Video lovers!! I've had a play with 'Folder Nodes' but I'm only learning, I'm sure and could do wonders to truly integrate Music Video into Music! (to be honest I was torn between absolute elation and total frustration - if only I'd known this earlierÄo concerts with video really belong in the music section of KODI? I can kind of see either standpoint. ![]() Most BD and concert albums already have chapter markers in them. You can label them with the chapter editor in MKVToolnix and they then show up in KODI under bookmarks when you play the album and even get little picture snapshots if it has video. ![]() You can then use MKVToolnix to create an audio only version with chapter names already present from the previous steps. This one does show up in Music just like a cue album, but there's no video so you can watch a visualizer if audio isn't passed through ir run a slideshow even if it is. Oddly and unfortunately there are slight gaps when coming to the next chapter/track, which I don't understand since a MKA file is the same as MKV without the video. I'm guessing there's a small bug that needs fixed there. The other downside is I see no way to get KODI to show the album art with MKA. I can attach it to the file itself as an icon on my Mac (shows up in Mac file lists), but KODI ignores it. So in those regards the cue method outlined above would work better, but if you don't want the video I'm guessing more steps would be needed to avoid it and you might not get all the other benefits (gapless and music listing). ![]()
