FileBot Xattr Metadata Scanner

The FileBot Xattr Scanner 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 or TheTVDB , regardless of whether files are named according to {plex} standards or not. Files without xattr metadata will be ignored.
