How do i hide or disable videos from getting viewed in the library and folders?
I'm using the folder view on the left panel and it detects many videos in my audio library.
I can't put them elsewhere it will be time consuming and not organized.
Is there a way to just not scan for mp4 and avi mpeg etc ?
Thanks

I do not believe that you can prevent video files showing in the folder browser view.

My recommendation would be to use the Music node of the library where you have more control and configuration options - the video files will be in the Video node (or can be sent there). You can also put audiobooks in the Audiobook node etc. It is worth experimenting with this - you have nothing to lose (well maybe some time).

Other than that you will have to move the video files to another folder.
This needn't be time consuming - using 'Tracks' view you can set '.ext' as a displayed field, sort by that and then select all video types to move in one go (or maybe two or three).
If the video files are well tagged you can send to an organised folder structure (right click - Send To - Folder (Move) - Move Files to Organised Folder). You can preview what is going to change before proceeding but, as always, try this with one or just a few files first so that, just in case it is not a happy ending, it will be simple to put them back.

How can i access this music node? (didnt find it through a search)

The 'Music' node is available in the left sidebar navigator panel:

Can I suggest that you spend a little time reading the wiki as it can help you understand the basics: https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/The_Anatomy_of_MusicBee

Oh! Sorry..
I thought you were talking about the view then i right click on a song and choose "locate in computer node", it shows a text only list and i was thinking there was a better way to access this in a full view.
Yes i know this feature i was using it first but it does not allow me to browse through my folders like the folder view does.
Problem is i already have many albums organized by genre in different folders since a long time and it's perfect this way for me because i don't have to deal with renaming the genres of each album i have, they are already in the proper folders. Maybe i could do a batch rename for all albums at once in each genre folder later...
I will experiment with this, thank you!

Try to use command "tools> tagging tools> auto-tag by track> infer tags from filenames" to fill genre tags (and maybe some other tags if needed).

mb can browse folders, but it's neither "native" nor the best way. i'd recommend using the "column browser" instead of the "computer node", but this requires your tags to be filled.
