How to properly edit a release with mixed media

I want to edit this entry in MusicBrainz so that Picard recognizes the audio files as a complete album. This particular release comes with a single video file, which is accurate, so I don’t want to outright delete it. Currently, all audio matches with Excellent status, but Picard just won’t detect the video file and complete the album even when present in the directory. How can this release be edited so that Picard only pays attention to the audio tracks, allowing the album image to turn gold after lookup? Apologies in advance this type of issue is addressed elsewhere, Jira didn’t return any results - first post / contribution so be gentle!

Short answer:
Don’t worry about perfect “gold” status.

Longer answer:
Picard is more about audio files than video files. So can’t always recognise video files. Or tag those files. Musicbrainz may list the video files so you the human can know you have a complete release. Picard can’t always handle the video file to tag it.

Techy answer:
Something to do with ffmpeg or other not handling the video file blah blah. See short answer.

The release is correct as-is, and should not be edited.

There’s already a Picard option to ignore video tracks when determining whether a release is complete.
