I tried searching on this but without success.

My blu-rays are backed up as .iso files. They are in some sub-folders of the main Video folder, which the Library auto-imports from.

These files will play in MC, but never appeared in the views under Video. Even their folders did not show there. I included Data in the Library options, but they still only appeared in the Documents view.

How can I make them appear in the Video library, and can I then also add sidecar tags?

BUMP.

Isn't this an issue for anybody else?

I think many people use iso files for video, and surely anybody using MC for video wants to see a tagged file and cover art in the Video view.

What am I missing here?

You need to set the Media Type to Video. You can do this by selecting the files, pressing Alt+Enter to bring up the tagging pane, and changing the Media Type field.
If you are using auto-import, you can set up an import rule to automatically set the Media Type:

Code: [Select]

If(IsEqual([File Type],iso,8),Video,[Media Type])

Thank you thank you thank you. It solved the issue and taught me something too.

Please can you teach me another thing. Where should that code be inserted for auto import? I went to the Configure auto import window but wasn't sure what to do from there.

When you edit a folder there, you can add the rule here:

Sorry for slow response. I have not had a chance take the next step until now. And when I did    I could not find how to access the window shown in your last mail. So, shamefacedly, I have to ask please can you tell me where to access that window, as I still couldn't find it after clicking around for 30 minutes

Tools > Import > Configure Auto-Import...

Thank you. That got me far enough so I could (just) figure out the remaining steps. It certainly didn't seem intuitive, so without your guidance I don't think I'd have ever got there.

So a closing thank you to everybody for their attention and help.
