You can still use the bulk updater script to automatically add/maintain the
video database, having it pull the metadata from the imdb is just an option
that you enable or disable. As far as an alternative source for metadata, I
am not aware of one that is remotely close to the imdb. I think things in
myth are supposed to move to themoviedb.org and the tmdb.pl script. It is
like a wikipedia version of the imdb from what I can tell. But currently it
doesn't seem like they have hit the critical mass yet with
users/contributors where you can reliably get metadata from them for most
movies.
