Media library

[Glavin001]

• [x] recursively traverse media directory for files
• [x] filter for files with supported extensions (mp4, avi, etc)
• [x] for support files found, parse file name (use parse-torrent-name)
• [ ] query themoviedb.org and thetvdb.com with parsed file name and retrieve meta data for media (name, release year, duration, genre, cast, crew, etc)
• [x] store all of that information in database
• [ ] push entities up to Wit.ai (see #3 )

• https://www.themoviedb.org/?language=en with https://www.npmjs.com/package/moviedb
• http://thetvdb.com/ with https://www.npmjs.com/package/tvdb or https://www.npmjs.com/package/thetvdb-api

Look into using http://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/services/documentdb/ for database and storing all of the user's media information.

Use https://github.com/atom/electron/blob/master/docs/api/dialog.md to display a dialog to get a media directory.

Use https://www.npmjs.com/package/walk instead of node-dir

Plex is a media solution that consists of two sides. One, is the Plex Media Server. The Plex Media Server takes all your media (TV Shows, Movies, Music) from all sources regardless of origin (downloaded/pirated, purchased video, digital rips of DVDs/BluRays that you own, home movies, etc...) and, after a little organization on your part, downloads information about it (season, episode, synopsis, theme music) to what is called the "Plex Library" which is a database of all of your media. If you have a lot of media from different sources, this is invaluable as going through it normally (browsing folders) would take forever and be extremely inefficient. The other side are the clients. There are clients for all sorts of devices. Right now the Plex team writes and distributes clients for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Roku, GoogleTV & Windows Phone. There are also unofficial clients made by other developers for AppleTV & Linux. These clients connect directly to the Plex Media Server, allowing you to access content on any of these devices. If the content isn't directly compatible with the device, Plex Media Server will convert the content to a compatible format on-the-fly as you request an episode (called "transcoding") so from the clients end, all content looks and acts compatible. Plex also does much more (allow you to access your home content anywhere in the world over the internet, offer a player in the web browser so you can use any device with a browser to view your content without installing or purchasing anything, etc...) but thats the basics of it. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Use https://github.com/caolan/async#queueworker-concurrency to enforce the 30 requests every 10 seconds limit for moviedb.
