This is used to get additional information from video files.
Example videos
Big.buck.bunny.mp4 (movie title big buck bunny)
TvShow
some.Show.s24e03 (Some Show Season 24 Episode 3)

as those information are rarely saved as metadata in the file, it is
necessary to extract them from the filename instead.

As odf file are pure archive files with the metadata as xml document,
it might be easy enough to do this parsing on our own.
This is what I have done using KZip and some basic xml parsing.

If you like i'll write a parser for 4.11

I'll postpone this decision than for a while and stick to extragear
until we can decide properly on this issue again
