This open-source Mac OSX media manager gathers, stores, and manages information, artwork, trailers, and themes for movie, TV, and anime collections.
General
Although still in alpha as of this writing, ViMediamanager is already highly functional and in active development. It is developed primarily for XBMC, but can be used with other media players like YAMJ and Boxee.
ViMediamanager works only with media items in separate folders together with their corresponding artwork, metadata, etc. It does not use a "flat" organization with all media files and corresponding files in a common folder. The program can automatically create the necessary folder structure from a flat structure.
