I believe most users create playlists for their genres, and then assign a video to that playlist.

You can do several ways depending on preference.

Option 1: You can place the videos in your specific theme folder like shown here:

Example: Playlist. These go in folder called "Playlists".  You may have to create folder. 

Example: Categories. These go in folder called "Platform Categories".  You may have to create folder. 

Where they go depends on if your video is for a category or playlist (categories go in Platform Categories). 

You also need to make sure you have used the same naming you have in Unique Name for any videos (and works same for images). 

Option 2:  Video folder for all themes.  If you want video for all themes, then they go in the Launchbox\Videos directory. 

Using option 1 takes priority over anything in the all themes video folder.

@Jeff  Sundogak gave a lot of good advice just keep in mind using option 1 will only allow that theme the folders are for to show those videos. So if you switch themes you will no loger have videos if you have none in the main Launchbox video folders. So typically I would recommend placing videos in a main Launchbox folder. By doing that you ensure all themes can access the videos.
