That doesn't work very well for mass metadata lookups (eg. when you
hit the scan button and it does a metadatalookup for all new items).

Why can't we just name files appropriately with a SxxExx and that
means it's a TV show? (even accounting for specials and such that
aren't necessarily episodic, we could just use S00E00)
