IIRC you can get the list of all media available. But that could be cleanup up. Maybe that kind of a attribute is a good idea.

If you rename a file while beacon is offline the additional metadata like stuff from imdb is lost. So a dump from same attributes not parsed by kaa.metadata to fxd files may be a good idea.
