Feature requests: (1) Allow query with IMDB id (2)Allow query with TheMovieDB id

Just let me start by saying thank you for the fantastic software you have provided over the years. I have been using it on and off for years while growing up and going to college.

If possible I would like to add two closely related feature requests.
In FileBot 4.7.9 you added support for "Support lookup by id for -list commands (e.g. filebot -list --q 70327)" which is wonderful.

My feature requests are:
1. Is it possible to allow queries with the IMDB id (tt6038946 and similar) for both movies and tv-shows.
I know that themoviedb supports it through their api with a url like https://api.themoviedb.org/3/find/<imdb ... ce=imdb_id
And thetvdb support it with a url similar to http://thetvdb.com/api/GetSeriesByRemot ... d=<imdb_id> according to https://forums.thetvdb.com/viewtopic.php?t=8083

Those are the only two databases I currently use so I do not know if the other ones support lookup with the imdb id in an easy way.

2. Is it possible to allow queries to themoviedb with their id for both movies and tv-shows? Similar to how it is working with the thetvdb currently.

1.
At the very least, you can use --filter to allow only matches with a specific ID (or anything else).


2.
AFAIK, --q does not allow you to search by movie ID, but searching by name/year is usually just as good, especially when combined with --filter.


3.
If you have a *.nfo files, then you can put IMDB and TheMovieDB links in there, and FileBot will pick them up. Same for tt1234567 patterns in filenames.
