WDTV-Live-Meta-Gen?

The name of this project comes from: "WDTV Live Metadata Generator"

I started this project after purchasing a WDTV Live (gen. 3) and loading it with about 350Gb of media. I noticed that the WDTV Live wasn't generating correct metadata for the media files (mostly TV Series and Films). This forced me to figure out how the WDTV was generating the Metadata, where it was getting the information from, and how it was being stored.

Basic Steps Taken By WDTV Live

1. Parse the filename
2. Separate on "." characters
