I think you are misunderstanding this whole process. The metadata
grabber knows nothing about any files, and has no access to the
database. It is given a query, as parsed out of the filename by the
Video Library, and is to return any information it can about the queried
title. It is not intended to have access to the file in order to pull
metadata out of the container.
