Proposal Feature Request: Poster Wall Enhancements for Home Video

    I (any probably many others) have a lot of home video (vacations, family, etc.) The files have descriptive names such as "Family Vacation 2020.mp4". When the poster wall scans these files at the time they are added to the hard drive, it either finds a commercial movie with a similar name, or puts them in unmatched. I saw a video that provided a work-around to get these set up correctly, but it is somewhat cumbersome.

    I propose an option to set such videos to a default setting where there is a poster on the poster wall with the file name (excluding extension) on the face of the poster where an image would normally be, and the metadata empty. Then the user could edit the metadata such as the description, and add categories, etc. Since they are automatically scanned when added to the hard drive, perhaps there could be a function to set up the default, described above, as an override to either the incorrectly found match, or to entry in the unmatched.
