How to Create a Simple Interface with Categories Only

[Jell01]

Hello,

I would like to use a media server to display various learning categories. I prefer not to use software like Kodi, as it requires extensive metadata scraping that I don't need.

Is it possible to instantly access the video categories when landing on the page? I would like to display a single media page with the following categories:

Basic Vocabulary
Thematic Vocabulary
Advanced Vocabulary
Common Phrases and Expressions
Parts of Speech
Sentence Structure
Tenses
Question Formation
Negation
...

Instead of using artwork for each video, I would like to display just the basic thumbnail of the video lesson.

I am considering organizing all videos containing the same content into corresponding folders, which would then be linked to the appropriate category.

Thank you for your help!
