I have a lot of music videos from back when I did some DJing. I still keep them up to date. These are a cross between music and movies, obviously. They take the normal tag information you would get with a song (album, genre, year, cover art, etc.). I have them in a different folder on my server and when it pulls them in, it pulls title, artist, and cover art. It does not pull in the other tag information. These happen to be all MP4s, which is a valid format for movies encoded as MP4 files. Is there a way to read these tags instead of it trying to guess the movie based on artist and title? I still like using Plex for this because it is like I have MTV back when they used to play music videos. Thank you on a great product! ---

What tags are you referring to. MP4’s don’t have the same tags as music files. PMs should be picking up the same tags as if it was a movie, so things like title and release date should be used. If you don’t want Plex trying to match these to movies, use the “Other Video” library or a movie library with the personal media agent. ---

I did use “Other Video” when I built the library. As far as the tags, they seem to be ID3v2.3 or ID3v2.4 tags. For the settings, I have: Library Type: Other Videos Name: Music Videos Language: None Visibility: Include in home screen and global search Enable Cinema Trailers UNCHECKED Enable video preview thumbnails CHECKED Include related External Content: CHECKED Collections: Show collections and their items Scanner: Plex Video Files Scanner Agent: Personal Media I know in the music section, you can bring up things like lyrics, which is really cool and then bring up things about the album. The music side definitely reads the ID3vx with respect to album and genre information and you can even add mood. I can change sort by all of those. I cannot with the music videos side of the house. Thanks for the suggestion, though. ---

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes. > [@Standalone Music Video section (without dependence on music files!)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/standalone-music-video-section-without-dependence-on-music-files/145329/1): > > Problem: Currently, Music Videos can be stored in a global music videos folder. They then display neatly formatted on the page of each music artist in a Music section. This is great. But as a consequence you have to have music for each artist in order to see any of their videos, in this nice format. Feature request: Option 1) Add the ability to have a standalone Music Video section, with neatly formatted videos. If a standalone Music Video section is not possible, then here is a fallback r… Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).
