Video access menus

Would it be possible to allow a folders type system to work within the main videos menu structure.
It would allow similar video types to be grouped for easy access.
Correct me if I am wrong or this facility is available already but at present the structure of the folders is created but once the icon is accessed it automatically looks for a video file to play and not another folder.

It seems that this is already present and working.

I have recently started using Ant Movie Catalog and the XAnt plugin for my movies files, and now also for my videos. There is a syntax you can use, putting "Catagory|SubCatagory|ItemName" in the OriginalTitle field, and just the ItemName in the TranslatedTitle field in the catalog entry, and the proper structures will be built in the XLobby database when the plugin is initialized.

It works so well that I wish I had never wasted any time with the standard DB import or with DVD-Profiler.

This is a good reference to start with: http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3759
