Simply create an "action" folder where you'll put all your action movies. A "comedy" folder, a "drama" folder, a "western" folder, etc...
If you append the genre to the file name, then the automatic video file scanning won't work anymore.
I am using the folder option currently, but I have many files to sort and I wondered since your app is already gathering the metadata information could it change the blank property options which all media files have to include the information from IMDB, i.e. the genre, title, rating etc.
Not to change the title of the file as it is listed within the folder but to change the properties. For example right-click on a file, go to "Properties" and then the "Details" tab. There you will find editable fields for the Star rating you want to give it etc. including the genre, title, tag etc. These fields can be bulk edited with the information you are collecting from IMDB, in turn if you add the field to your folder (the sub ribbon where you can change the sort, Name, Date, Size, ascending, descending etc. you can add the field Genre.
This would show the newly added "Comedy" listing in the Genre field and allow you to sort on all the Comedies, Action movies etc. then you can either place them in separate folders or just use that field for a quick folder-level view of all of your Comedies.
