iTunes enhancement request
I submitted an iTunes feature enhancement to Apple so that the media-type for videos (Movie, TV show, Music Video) could be automatically set by iTunes itself based on the duration of the video.
By default, any video file dropped into iTunes is automatically with a media-type of "Movie". I propose that using some heuristics based on the duration, the video file can be intelligently categorized by iTunes itself, as a Movie, a TV show or a Music Video.
If the file is either around 22 minutes in duration, or 45 minutes in duration, it's very likely a half-hour or 1-hour TV show, respectively; if it's around 90 minutes long or more, it's likely a movie; if it's less than 15 minutes, it's a music video or a short.
