    IMVDb update wrong release year

    IMVDb plugin assigns incorrect release year (defaults to 2017) for many music videos

    I’m seeing systematic incorrect metadata updates from the IMVDb plugin regarding the release date/year of music videos.
    Example: 

    Code:
    <title>Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go Go</title>
    <year>2017</year>
    <premiered>2017-04-02</premiered>
    <releasedate>2017-04-02</releasedate>
    <imvdbid>265564083899</imvdbid>
    <imvdb_slugid>https://imvdb.com/video/wham/wake-me-up-before-you-go-go</imvdb_slugid>

    This metadata is incorrect. According to IMVDb itself, the video was released in 1984, which matches the original single release year:

    https://imvdb.com/video/wham/wake-me-up-...-you-go-go

    What’s more concerning is that this is not an isolated case:
    a large number of music videos in my library are being updated with the same year 2017, regardless of the actual historical release date.

    Environment
    • Jellyfin version: 10.11.5
    • IMVDb plugin version: 5.0.0.0


    Expected behavior
    The plugin should use the correct release year as provided by IMVDb (e.g. 1984 in this case), and not overwrite existing metadata with an incorrect default.

    Observed behavior
    • year, premiered and releasedate are set to 2017
    • The value appears to be reused across many unrelated videos
    • Existing correct metadata is overwritten

    Impact
    This breaks chronological sorting, decade-based views, and any library organization relying on correct release dates.
