Great. In a perfect world you only have to replace 'import mmpython'
with 'import kaa.metadata as mmpython' and you are done. But the world
is not perfect as it seems ...

The bins code is completly rewritten. It is in image/core and
misc/directory (it looks like you need the later for the stuff). But
the bins support is a feature we also should discuss. It takes time to
check this and I guess close to nobody uses it. But for 2.0 it doesn't
matter, beacon will use that code and it is cached.

I have no idea how this can happen. Mmpython never had support for
parsing fxd files. You need to take a deeper look / send me the
correct log message.

No idea. But lsdvd as extra dependency was always a bad solution, this
is much cleaner. So if some feature is missing in the dvd parser, let
us add this feature and not use the external app. I remember the time
when lsdvd switched to a new output format and the parser was
broken. We should avoid that.

See mail from Tack. All parser should return the same type for the
same keys. This means length is always float (or int, doesn't matter)
with seconds. Some parts of kaa.metadata still have some old problems
From mmpython, e.g. the aspect sometimes is a float, sometimes a
string (mpeg).
