I bought this up earlier - it's my biggest desire for MythMusic.

I agree completely. I'd like to see Myth move away from handling things
differently based on what type of media it is (video v music) or where it
came from (TV v video file) and move towards handling things based on what
the media actually is (episode v movie/one off show v music v audio book
etc). I think videos in MythMusic would be a great feature even if nothing
else ever changes though.

Cheers,
Steve
