if MP could import data from MKV like it does with MP3... well that would be an awesome feature. |
I took a look at matroska. That's really nice way to include all-in-one file.

This container format supports also tags like some other so the database import should search for those tags and use them for movie infos.
another suggestion is to search for different sources of information.
mp should try to import informations in the following order to the moviedatabase:
1. tags in movie file (test.mkv)
2. info file (test.xml)
3. xml-movie database (movies.xml)
4. online lookup at imdb or so
this should also be configurable, that means you can disable and enable each source,
for example an offline pc it should be possible to disable online lookup or the import from tags in movie file.
