Feature Request: Add SeriesProvider_imdb to episode webhook payload for thumbnails #326

I’m using the Jellyfin webhook plugin to send Discord embeds and fetch poster art from OMDb. For movies, I can grab the IMDb ID right out of the payload:

"thumbnail": {
  "url": "https://img.omdbapi.com/?i={{Provider_imdb}}&h=600&apikey=YOUR_OMDB_KEY"
}

That works perfectly. But when an episode event fires, there’s no SeriesProvider_imdb (or SeriesProviderIds.Imdb) in the JSON, so I can’t point OMDb at the show’s poster.

I also can’t fall back to using the series internal URL or Jellyfin’s own image endpoint, because:

  • My Jellyfin server isn’t publicly hosted

  • Discord can’t fetch internal/private URLs

Since I rely entirely on OMDb for my TV show artwork, something like this in the episode payload would be amazing:

"thumbnail": {
  "url": "https://img.omdbapi.com/?i={{SeriesProvider_imdb}}&h=600&apikey=YOUR_OMDB_KEY"
}

would be amazing.

Would it be possible to expose the series’ IMDb ID in the episode payload—just like Provider_imdb for movies? That way my TV notifications look just as slick as my movie posts.

If there's a better solution to this, please let me know.

Thanks!
