Design #524

Library design needs to be modified to hold all json data
100%
Description
The library shouldn't be a single flat file. It should be one flat file per movie file that contains all the json data for a single movie or TV show. This will allow me to more easily save all json data and only parse out what I support in the UI, making future updates to the UI easier. It should also be faster since I don't have to maintain the entire json data in memory. I can just read them in at start up to create a sorted list of movies, even sorting on different fields (title, date, etc.).

The database should be in JSON, not plain text. A newline specifies a new video entry. This would be the same JSON data retrieved for a video file but with the path to the video added as an identifier for the record. Posters may need alternate handling from what happens now - I'll have to research that some more.
This will be a rewrite of LocalDB in videolib and will require a rewrite of videofe:db.c:dbLoad() to read the data.

This is done. The code is committed in the mjhammel/tvdbcom branch and will be merged with master after videofe is tested on hardware.
Closing issue.
