mp4

I'm looking for a media manager that will display and play movies and TV shows and will read data included in mp4 and m4v files.

So far I've looked at XBMC, Moovida and Boxee and all of these seem to keep their own separate database or XML files for reading and storing tag information. I also looked at Banshee because of this answer, but it didn't read my tags. Banshee is also geared towards music videos instead of actual movies and TV shows.

So I'm looking for software that

Displays and plays movies and TV Shows
Reads mp4 and m4v tags
Preferably something with bulk import (i.e., I don't want to add 1,000 items to a new library)
Bonus if it also has a tag editor
Bonus if it's an XBMC extension
