Add other metadata sources (tvdb, tmdb, omdb)? #40

Was thinking maybe add tvdb, tmdb or omdb something like one of those for an additonal scraper in case IMDB doesnt have the tv show listed or can't find it like for example Looney Tunes that is a series even though there are a lot of shorts you shouldnt need to add it to the movies section since those aren't movies same with Popeye and all the old classic cartoons?

I noticed soemtiems when imdb scrapes a show its not always accurate for episodes like Forged in Fire its missing an episdoe where in contrast TMDB has every episdoe listed anlong with many other shows and a lot of times TMDB has the episodes in correct order. I was thinking maybe choose a folder for the tv show so can have two folders one can be for TMDB scraped shows and one for IMDB scraped shows so that way the list is complete for tv shows and stuff like that.

You would somehow tell Media Hoarder anyways which meta data source (IMDB, TMDB...) you would like to use. Maybe providing the tmdb id in the series' folder name could help here.

in #62 @kolbdog323 mentioned:

Just suggestion but will you consider adding a option to saerch on TMDB for episodes or movies in case missing on imdb or if someone wants to do tmdb orderign for some shows since not all people have full episodes on their disk they only half of an episode especially if its a cartoon or if want to . And not all episodes or movies are on imdb. Like do a link to series or movie after you scrape from imdb then can link to tmdb for taht show.

Sorry i know primarly from IMDB and no issues so far but just sugestion in-case it happens. SInce not all movies and epiosdes are on IMDB some are on tmdb and vise versa?

I was just thinking maybe for a work around enable the tvdb, or tmdb id in file name like this [tvdb=70761] or [tmdb=212234] and then you can scrape the episode info that way so dont have to make a full incorporaiton of it just for episode file names not for shows.
