Seems like you could import via command line? http://wiki.gcstar.org/en/execution You can build the database you need locally with something like exiftool or MediaInfo, or even ffmpeg https://stackoverflow.com/a/8191228/374110 . I highly doubt anyone with serious collections is building their database one item at a time. > > Does anyone know of a software package that will sort a lot of videos by > resolution as well as track other things as well?

You can choose SQLite or MySQL (of course MySQL is definitely the better choice for larger collections). The downside is the scanner is very slow, especially over a network (and not optimised). The only viewer for this data (at the time being) is Kodi itself. -- Andrew
