tl'dr
I want to manually (by script or plugin) create a library, completely bypassing built-in worker.
I have a quite large collection of movies, spanning multiple drives, with nested structures, etc.
When using the built-in worker it does identifies most of the movies, but creates a lot of mess by including extras, misinterpreting nested structures, and so on.
Luckily I've been following a naming structure, that allowed me to parse disks content, identify 99,9% of the movies, and even grab the data from imdb [1].
I've used it to create a small web application to help select the next movie to watch.
So I have a small database where I have all the movies, including paths, imdb ids, genres, ratings, everything.
I want to use it to manually build a library.
I can try to create a custom plugin or write a script that will inject data straight into database?
If you could point me into the right direction.
