When the Jellyfin core resolvers parse a provider ID from a folder or file name (e.g. `Season 1 [tvdbid-12345]`), the ID is now stored in the item's ProviderIds before metadata providers run. This change makes the TVDB plugin use those IDs directly rather than always requiring a full series lookup. - TvdbSeasonProvider: use season ID directly if present; only fall back to series lookup when no ID is available. Removes the IsAutomated re-fetch so that path-supplied IDs are always honoured (see PR notes). - TvdbEpisodeProvider: same pattern for episodes; removes IsAutomated re-fetch. - TvdbSeasonImageProvider: use season ID directly to skip the series fetch for the primary season; lazy-fetch the series only when needed for the official-order artwork fallback. - TvdbEpisodeImageProvider: use episode ID directly to skip the expensive GetEpisodeTvdbId series+number lookup. Note: removing the IsAutomated re-fetch means that changing a series' display order will no longer automatically update stored season IDs. Users would need to manually clear the TVDB ID from affected seasons to force re-discovery. This is an intentional trade-off to ensure path-supplied IDs are always respected.
