Skip episode if another is mapped to its value #518
Conversation
If a TVDB episode is mapped to a value that already exists in TVDB then duplicate episodes will be matched. This causes only the final match to be used for metadata, which could be the wrong one.

I have only tested this with one affected series (Monogatari series), so I would appreciate it if someone else could test it as well. |

Tested with several series that were previously mapped incorrectly and this fixed all of them. |

Does this also fix the poster being incorrect such as in issue #500 ? |

This didn't fix the problem in #500 (comment) |

The pr does what it says and fixes the matching for series that share things under the same entry on tvdb (multiple seasons / specials / ovas / movies). I saw "Violet Evergarden Gaiden: Eien to Jidou Shuki Ningyou" used as an example of a movie that isn't matching correctly but that is actually an issue with anime-list-master.xml which is pointing to the wrong episode. It is pointing to season 0 of the main series (which doesn't contain any trace of the movie). |

This fix should resolve the episode name mapping issue for anidb to TVDB.
Since thumbnails are still stored by their mapped values, this does not resolve the issue where the incorrect thumbnails are sometimes chosen as the default. In this case, the correct thumbnail will still be available as the second choice when editing the episode in plex, so you can manually fix them without too much effort.
Partially resolves #500
