File Browser/directory mode for Other Videos in local library

www2

Hi i wand to have an option that Local library can be use in a File Browser mode.
This can be handy for filler/commercials that have no metadata but is sorted in directory's.

Can you clarify what you mean by File Browser mode? If you want to use the folder structure to create collections, Other Videos libraries already work that way: you can search for folders as tags to create smart collections. See https://ersatztv.org/user-guide/local-libraries/#other-video-fallback-metadata

I like to have a option to brows my files with directory than all the files in one list.
Some think like this on my disk:

filler
|-commercials
| |-Random commercials.mkv
| |-etc
|
|-trailers
| |-G
| | |-FammalymovieTrailer.mkv
| | |-etc
| |
| |-R
| | |-RMovieTrailer.mkv
| | |-etc

And i like to see this directory structure and use this path as a smart colletion to a colletion in ErsatzTV where i can browse than showing all the files in one list.

You can make smart collections at any level you desire.

tag: filler - collection of all commercials and all trailers
tag: filler AND tag: commercials or tag: (filler AND commercials) - all commercials only
tag: filler AND tag: trailers or tag: (filler AND trailers) - all trailers only

BTW if commercials and trailers are only presented as tags from this single source, there is no need tag: filler in the last two examples. ie tag: commercials will give all commercials only

Similarly,
tag: filler AND tag: trailers AND tag: G or tag: (filler AND trailers AND G) - all G rated trailers only (just tag: G if G is unique as a tag)
