Oh, I really did not intend to sound sarcastic. I guess you are 
referring to my "I hope this helps you to think about whether it is 
worth for you to investigate into this ;-)"

Please let me explain: I'm of course glad if Dolphin would be capable to 
show IMDB-metadata. But I've debugged a few Strigi-analyzers already and 
(and least to me) this was far from being fun - I personally would not 
want to write a new Strigi-analyzer for a few reasons. But it is out of 
scope of this thread to go into more details here - 
http://ppenz.blogspot.co.at/2011/03/dont-crash-when-reading-metadata.html might 
give a few hints if you're interested.

Probably you should also ask the Nepomuk-team (nepomuk@kde.org)whether 
there is a way to implement your proposal without Strigi. Personally I 
like Nepomuk and its API a lot and I'm sure this would be more fun.

Cheers,
Peter
