-Supposedly 'director' isn't used, but I want that info for myself :) 'plot' is for additional info. abotu the video, if it's fro ma live performance, or a film, etc.
+Supposedly 'director' isn't used, but I want that info for myself :) and it does seem to show in Kodi anyway. 'Plot' is for additional info. about the video, if it's from a live performance, or a film, etc.
 [[https://kodi.wiki/view/Music_videos|The page on the Kodi wiki]] says you need to keep the files in one directory and use the filename format ''[artist] - [title].[ext]'', but I think this is more for people who use music video scrapers (which aren't great—). As long as you have the .nfo files and tell it to search recursively (like you do with other media) it'll be fine.
+If you want to include your own thumbnail (//poster//) images (and //fanart//, etc.) there are some set filenames that'll let Kodi see them, eg: ''[artist] - [title]-poster.[ext]''. Leaving the ''[artist] - '' part off the front seems to work fine. Having Kodi generate the thumbnails itself is a bit slow.
 ==== Playlists ====
-I haven't messed with playlists, but I think I'd find them useful for music videos.
+I haven't messed with playlists, but I think I'd find them useful for music videos. You can also mix music and music videos into one playlist.
