Comment (by visit0r):

 I finished the features I planned for the metadata scripts. Now the
 scripts truly kick ass. Please try them out. I've only tested them with
 0.20, but they should work also in trunk (AFAIK there hasn't been any
 MythVideo DB schema changes that would break the importing).

 Some of the changes since the last upload of the scripts to this ticket:

 find_metadata.py:
 - detect if metadata already exist before starting to scan the file
 - better detection for dvd rip directories
 - add file chaining data for multifile titles (dvd rip dirs)
 - do not write metadata files by default, import to MythDB by default
 - allow giving multiple paths to scan as argument
 - picks the first Runtime if imdbpy.py returns multiple
 - importing of movie's genre
 - fetch and import the cover image

 imdbpy.py:
 - removed the changelog from the comments (SVN logs are better for this)
 - fixed the plot summary fetching
