Bug Wrong Anilist to MAL anime mappings when multiscrobble is enabled

[hyperpeko]

Steps to Reproduce

Enable multiscrobble
Add anime exception for "You're Under Arrest" to map to "You're Under Arrest (TV)" in Anilist with offset of 4.
Play file with the name "You're Under Arrest - 05.mkv"
On Anilist it correctly tracks "You're Under Arrest (TV)" Episode 1, meanwhile on MAL it for some reason tracks "Shakugan no Shana: Koi to Onsen no Kougai Gakushuu!" ???

Operating System

macOS

Application Version

3.316

Operating System Version

14.5

At first it correctly finds MAL entry with 1372 "You're Under Arrest TV", but then it does some weird checks and updates it to completely unrelated and not even similar in title "Shakugan no Shana: Koi to Onsen no Kougai Gakushuu!" with MAL id 1531

Please note that this has also happened with some other anime with multiscrobble enabled, when Anilist tracked correct title, but MAL tracked some random unrelated anime. Idk what kind of id mapper Hachidori is using, but I'm pretty sure that Anilist entries themselves almost always have "malid" in the API response, so perhaps for multiscrobble with "MAL" and "Anilist" enabled that could be used instead of what is currently going on under the hood.

The mappings were incorrect for this title. I have corrected it, but since Hachidori stores the mapping in a local database, I will need to add a button that allow the users to clear the existing mapping if corrections are issued, hopefully it will get done this week.

Would it be possible to also automatically update the mappings over a certain interval? I think it's much more user friendly to have mappings be kept up to date automatically than to just add a button that most people wouldn't use.
