    tests: Test TV show information extraction from videos
    
    Add this metadata to the mp4-video-without-audio.mp4 testcase
    so it is tested. Even though data structure correctness is sort
    of ensured since the extractor data is also inserted to a database
    in a smoke run, it also makes sense to test the correctness of the
    extracted metadata in the expected JSON file.

    extractor: Fix libav extractor TV series/season information extraction

    nmm:TVSeries / nmm:TVSeason that are consistent with the ontology.

commit 2a575f07ec680be2654cc522348916ba11121501
Author: Carlos Garnacho <carlosg@gnome.org>

    extractor: Clean up deadline watchdog sooner after extraction
    
    When a file is extracted, it is scheduled on a separate thread for
    processing. In order to watch for this processing thread possibly
    stalling (or taking too long), a timeout GSource on the original
    calling thread is set up as GTask data. If this source fires up,
    the processing thread was deemed as taking too long, and the
    extractor restarted as a result.
    
    However, this GSource stays as GTask data for as long as this
    object is alive, this means the full roundtrip until the main
    thread receives the response, calls g_task_propagate_pointer() on
    it, and unrefs it.
    
    There may be situations during high load that the processing
    thread finishes the task, issues g_task_return_pointer() on it,
    but it takes a long time for the calling thread (i.e. main) to
    act on it. In this case the deadline source may still end up
    triggering despite it not being the processing thread's fault.
    
    Since the GSource and all of the task data already fulfilled
    their purpose after having called g_task_return_pointer() from
    the worker thread, we can safely dispose of it earlier, so the
    deadline watchdog is disabled after processing is finished, and
    the task can be eventually freed in an independent manner.
