I came across this today, and looks like an awesome free tool, suitable for use alongside NPVR:
http://www.embermm.com/projects/embermm/wiki
"Ember Media Manager (aka EMM or Ember) is an open source movie and TV Show collections management tool which was initially created to use with XBMC, but it should virtually support most of the other media center application out there. It empowers home theater enthusiasts to manage and organize their entire movie and TV Show collections. EMM will scrape (retrieve) movie and TV Show information (plot, cast, genre, studio, mpaa certification, etc) from various sites, together with posters, fanarts, actor photos and even movie trailers. It also automatically extracts media metadata like resolution, codecs, audio and subtitle streams. EMM can also be used as a standalone movie organizer/ cataloguer, but the primary aim of such a tool is to export all the data and images to a format can then be imported into your favorite media center application. In order to achieve this, EMM stores all data and images in files which are saved next to the media files. Media center applications can pick up those files and import the information to their own internal database."
Would NPVR be able to use the outputted meta files from it, for display?
