TMDb -> add the Episode Group Feature into Emby

The problem I see with Tmdb compared to Tvdb, is that within an episode group you can have sub-groupings that are the equivalent of seasons...But Tmdb does not have the requirement of these being numbered. So what does that mean for season folders and tv episode naming conventions? If you start making all of that optional then it requires everything to be reimagined. Tvdb at least keeps this a little more strict.

Personally, I'd treat all of those parts (non-season titled sub-groups) as Seasons regardless of how they're named - and true, there's no numbered seasons/parts requirement, but items where they're actually not are few and far between.

Also one thing I notice with tmdb is that the seasons under a group don't appear to support having an image or description, so by picking an alternate group you essentially lose that feature.

True again, but if they're treated as seasons as per above, either TMDB or fallback provider should grab (or offer on manual search) a season image in vast majority of cases.

You can't (or shouldn't) do a fallback because the content or description of a season in aired order will not correlate to a different order.

Additionally if you pick a custom order with tvdb, then we should not allow metadata through a secondary provider like tmdb, even if you have it enabled in library options, because we can't match up a tvdb group to a tmdb group.

Season 1 in Aired order or Season 1 in DVD order is still Season 1 - single poster would (and generally does) cover both, I doubt anyone looks for Season 1 poster for DVD order in particular. Same goes for episode groups.

 For descriptions - maybe, though they're also quite rare. For posters - don't see why not, as said.
