[implemented] Native Plex Agents: Allow access to external provider ids for media (eg; IMDb, TMDb, TVDb)

Feature Suggestions
1

Hello,

I would like to request that there is some way (API would be fine) to access the external provider ids e.g. TvDbId, ImdbId for media that is located on the Plex server.

Previously this was done at an agent level, so the media agent would contain this information in the media metadata guid. With the new ‘beta’ media agent, this reference has been removed.

This would allow a lot of tools and community applications to better identify the media that is on the server and not have to resort to fuzzy title + year matches.

Thanks,
TidusJar

It would also be great to include the IDs in web hooks that are sent out. Currently we can parse out the guid but the new agent has an internal plex format for guid now.
