    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!

    You could create separate libraries for each category. Each library would be on the home page. As for images, if these videos don't exist in TMDB or TVDB, then that isn't really an issue. In the library settings you would disable all the online metadata providers and make the "screen grabber" the top priority and be the only image provider enabled.

    Since it sounds like these are not "traditional" shows or movies, I think the "Music Videos" library type would suit your needs.
