FileBot Xattr Metadata Scanner ID

The FileBot Xattr Scanner ID will read name / year / season / episode / etc from xattr metadata instead of guessing and parsing information from the file path. This scanner will greatly enhance primary agents such as Plex Movie, TheMovieDB or TheTVDB, regardless of whether files are named according to {plex} standards or not. Files without xattr metadata will be ignored.
