Description of the bug

When no preferred metadata language is specified for a library:

2024-10-14_11-23-41

The downloaded metadata for a movie contains a link to the trailer:

2024-10-11_15-53-13

When specifying a preferred language (in my case: Dutch) for the metadata of a library:

2024-10-14_11-20-29

The metadata downloads succesfully, but the trailer link is missing:

2024-10-11_15-54-30

Even though TMDB web interface does show a trailer when browsing in Ducth:

2024-10-11_16-09-32

Reproduction steps

Configure a Movie library with Dutch as a preferred metadata language
Add a movie to the library
Allow the metadata to be fetched from TMDB
Notice that the Trailer link is missing

What is the current bug behavior?

The downloaded metadata does not contain a link to the Trailer:
2024-10-11_15-54-30

What is the expected correct behavior?

The downloaded metadata should contain a link to the Trailer:
2024-10-11_15-53-13

Reproduced the bug.

Might be somewhat related to this issue: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/4822
If that issue is actually related to this issue: would be great if the trailer link (for example) is empty, the fallback / English version would be used (even if it costs an additional API call).

So, I see this issue is set to be closed if there is no further feedback.

I can confirm the exact issue is still present in the current release:

Jellyfin 10.10.5
TMDb Plugin 10.10.5.0

Would love to at least get some feedback. Even if it's "wontfix because of <insert great reason here>"...
