Zwyx 7e8fe813e7 Replace Open Media Database by Open Movie Database 
Based on the source file `jellyfin/jellyfin/MediaBrowser.Providers/Plugins/Omdb/OmdbProvider.csJellyfin`, Jellyfin uses `omdbapi.com` as a metadata provider.

[`omdbapi.com`](https://www.omdbapi.com/) calls themselves `The Open **Movie** Database`.

This seems to be not affiliated with "Open **Media** Database", [omdb.org](https://www.omdb.org/).

I found it incredibly difficult to figure out who is who.

I found [this comment](https://github.com/omdbapi/OMDb-API/issues/89#issuecomment-412158872) from a guy who works for a company — JustWatch — which is in Berlin and whose product is embedded on `omdb.org` (which has roots in Germany too — I know, it's quite light, but it's all I've got).

This comment says _OMDBAPI is an open wrapper around IMDB data_. But, on `omdbapi.com`, it is said _all content and images on the site are contributed and maintained by our users_, which seems to contradict the comment (and it doesn't seems to be open source). BUT, there seems to be no way on `omdbapi.com` to contribute, or create an account, or anything 🤯 

I'm lost! If anyone has more information about all this, please share!

Metadata

Jellyfin can get metadata for your media through multiple sources. By default, Jellyfin ships with the following providers:

There are more official providers available in our Plugin Catalog, like TheTVDB, fanart.tv or AniDB. If you still can't find the provider you are looking for, you could even develop your own with our Plugin API.

:::caution Notice for Users in Mainland China 中国大陆地区用户请注意
