 Video section in UPnP lack any sub-classification like in Recordings
 section. This makes it very hard to orient as soon as the user has more
 than a few videos. When I started to use MythTV as DLNA server,
 this is what I lacked the most. Surprisingly it is extremely simple to add
 new grouping. The code is practically prepared for that, since the
 beginning. I would be very happy to add this feature with my patch.

 The patch is here : https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/pull/78

 This patch adds eleven new groupings. these are :

 by folder (that is, by last directory name in which is the file located.
 i.e. not the full path)
 by length (rounded to nearest 10)
 by user rating (rounded to integer)
 by maturity rating (i.e. 12, 18, PG, etc.)
 by category
 by director
 by studio
 by homepage
 by year
 by content type
 by season
 All these groupings are only 1 level groupings, but in my opinion quite
 useful. For example folder name in which the file resides is relatively
 useful classification. Grouping by length rounded to nearest divisible by
 10 minutes usually groups together the same series, making them easy to
 find. Most of these groupings are based on videometadata table, which may
 be updated automatically or they may be filled manually with reasonable
 data.

 I think even if somebody does not use all the groupings, it definitely
 does not harm to have it.
