Hello.
If this is not the right place to post this im sorry but it seemed the most appropiate and you guys are really helpful.
I got my views all set up, and the referrer relationships working fine. I have bands and each band can have several videos.
The trouble was the ol' views issue, for every video attached to my band, the view was duplicated, so if i had 3 videos for one band, the band info would be repeated 3 times, with each one attached to a different vid.
Nothing I did could reduce this duplicate issue, so i installed the dev version of views, and Disctinct: Yes works fine, only problem is that it suppresses my videos as well as the band info, so i have one lot of band info (right) but only one video (wrong).
Im using the dev nodereffer.
Cheers guys.

could you create one view with output of your fields for band info set as distinct (or just output based on an artist node rather than anything having to do with a video) and then add an attachment to the view to display the videos (video fields?) taking advantage of the nodereferrer relationship and not use the distinct option? using Fields style views allows you to output just certain parts of the nodes rather than all their fields, and if i understand correctly an attachment allows you to basically create a second related view and display it at the same time as the first view. just a thought!
