Yes the problem is that I would like this approach / system / framework to be as generic as possible so all a media provider needs to be able to do is provide a list of media items of a specific type. That way it may also work with other UPnP servers in the future which we don't control ourselves. The same goes for being able to import from plugins. Assuming a specific directory structure or forcing it on plugins makes the system much less powerful.

But I understand that having to manually tag every movie is cumbersome. We really need better desktop tools for these kinds of things where you could e.g. drag and drop a list of movies into a tag etc.
