How to gather movie information from local file, not from website?

This can not be done. As movie files are saved any many different formats and to the best of my knowledge movie information is not attached to a movie like it is with say mp3 tags. This is not to say that in the future a new video format will come out that has the same option as mp3s where a tag is attached inside the file that contains all the information about the movie.

Just FYI...
using this scrapper makes XBMC Crash. I have to delete it from the scrappers folder to be able to run XBMC.
Hope this helps

Thanks NoiZe. I was looking for something like this.
I am creating my own media manager with which I can scrape and setup all the .nfo files and thumbs that xbmc must use. I do not want xbmc to go online to find info.
I'm curious, would it be ok to delete all the scrapers from here XBMC\system\scrapers , or is there something thats gonna break? This would mean xbmc got no scrapers to work with and no way to go find info then, so if it can't find an nfo file the media will just not show up in my library view?
[edit] no it wont be ok to delete 'em cause then you cant set what kind of media your adding, movie, tvshow, etc. Now I'm just using NoiZe empty scraper and made a duplicate for VT Shows.
