Alternative metadata providers

[crowquillx]

On the reddit post for a recent update I brought up the idea of adding metadata providers other than TVDB/TMDB. I think those providers are quite good for most series and movies but there are quite a few annoyances with more niche media, specifically anime. A good example of this is the Monogatari series.

To be clear, I have not tried this series in your app and have only seen that it is using these metadata providers so I can only go by how it works in sonarr, which is just quite messy.

There are standalone applications that solve this (Shoko Server is an example) but it would be nice to be able to use just one app.

I am not sure how viable this is, but if it is at all viable it would really take this app to the next level in my opinion.

Another option that isn't quite as specific would be the ability to use the different sort orders that TVDB offers, using my earlier example, the Monogatari issue is basically solved by using DVD episode ordering. I'm sure there are other shows this would work for, and some that it wouldn't.

Also, to be clear, anidb isn't always perfect. All of One Piece is just one season, for example, which is kind of a disaster in my opinion.

Anyway, I am not sure how much code I could offer but I am willing to help in whatever way possible or bounce any ideas back and forth if you believe there is anything here.

Thanks for your time!
