Is there any reason why we can't populate these when we choose the
appropriate item in the query for metadata?  It might require tweaking
the initial metadata search query, but there should be no reason why
we can't indicate whether an entry comes from ttvdb or tmdb in the
select prompt.  Selecting from one metadata source then assigns the
video as one of the options above and that assignment then becomes a
dependency for the logic between importing data from ttvdb or tmdb.
