Import/Export movie information

The extra movie information that is downloaded from the internet (from sites such as lovefilm) can often be wrong due to a number of films having the same name. To work around this, there should be some method where the user can specify the extra information that they want to be associated with a movie.

So - It would be a good idea to have an XML file with the same name as the movie file (perhaps with an extension of nfo?) which contains this information. If the file is present, then the information will be read and used instead of going off to the internet.

As an extra feature, it would also be useful to be able to export the movie information that was downloaded already and create the relevant nfo files from it automatically (if enabled in the config screen).

(In revision:415) Added an xsd for movie info and a sample movie xml file.

note: it might be usefull to tag manually updated movies descriptions.

You can then provide an option in the config screen which allows users to either 'leave manually updated descriptions alone' or 'replace manually updated descriptions' when doing an automated update of the extra movie info.

(In revision:1042) Added exporting video details to a XML sidecar file. An existing XML file will be read during a media search to populate video details.

The XML file is created:

1. During media search when details are added by parser.
2. Editing video details manually.
3. Video lookup with parser.

Fixes* 25
