Multiple tvdb links for series

Please allow multiple links for tvdb specific for season zero selections because of the way tvdb was redesigned and organized.
Example:
Ah! My Goddess has 5 different series listed but tvdb list the ova under special and not under the specific ova names.

Dot hack series are another with the same issue on tvdb.

Hmm. Instead unique TvDB ID and TrakTV ID per serie.
The combination of ID, Season and Episode like MAL. For TvDB and TrakTV.

Auto-Matching the correct season/episode start, could be done, using Levenshtein distance.
Specifically on TvDB and TrakTV, the first episode of the serie to match, should match episode 1 of season 1, episode 1 of season 2, etc...... if no good match, the first episode should be the best episode match, of all episodes ovas (Season 0). Or could be matched using aired date.

This will fix almost all problem i found, since the most common is two or three series that are marked as ovas in TvDB/TrakTV.

Also, on manual assign, instead of assigning via ComboLister with the Season and a Numeric input, a combolister having every Season/Episode (With Names) populated from TvDB/TrakTV/MAL should be nice, clicking should show a lister with two columns, one column with AniDB episodes of the series, and the second with The selected episodes on TVDB/TrakTV/MAL.

Sorry, yeah you won't be able to do it yet, since my validation would block you assigning the same TvDB series/season combination to more than one anime series (This will need to be removed)

This has already been done for TvDB/Trakt
