Peter, your sarcasm is duly noted :)
I'll start off on this...
Thanks a lot guys :)
Oh, I really did not intend to sound sarcastic. I guess you are
referring to my "I hope this helps you to think about whether it is
worth for you to investigate into this ;-)"
Please let me explain: I'm of course glad if Dolphin would be capable to
show IMDB-metadata. But I've debugged a few Strigi-analyzers already and
(and least to me) this was far from being fun - I personally would not
want to write a new Strigi-analyzer for a few reasons. But it is out of
scope of this thread to go into more details here -
http://ppenz.blogspot.co.at/2011/03/dont-crash-when-reading-metadata.html might
give a few hints if you're interested.
Probably you should also ask the Nepomuk-team (nepo...@kde.org)whether
there is a way to implement your proposal without Strigi. Personally I
like Nepomuk and its API a lot and I'm sure this would be more fun.
Cheers,
Peter

Rather than that, you should look at nepomuk-metadata-extractor (see
http://joerg-weblog.blogspot.de/2012/02/nepomuk-metadata-web-extraction.html
). In short, it is a plugin-based system to download metadata for
arbitrary files from any arbitrary website based on plugins and load
it into nepomuk. It should already be able to handle getting movie
data from imdb. I don't think it automatically scans removable media,
though, so you would probably need to implement that part of it.
