Description

I've read the documentation.

Your Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I often download one-off videos and I don't want them sorted by channel. Sometimes they are random uploads of other things I want to save, sometimes they are just single videos.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to use the "Videos" type library instead of the "TV Shows" library.

Additional context

I am happy to work on this with my Python knowledge but I don't know exactly how this scanner importing works. I have tried messing with a custom scanner for Video libraries, but I haven't gotten it working yet.

Your help is needed!

  • Yes, I will work on this in the next few days or weeks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the scanner agent code to understand how TV Shows library type is handled, then adapt it to support Videos library type by modifying metadata parsing and agent logic.
