No search results for an existing IMDb ID - AntonyF - 2024-03-06
VVersion 10.8.10
Firstly thanks to everyone for a truly amazing piece of software.
I was hoping to get a bit of help. I use IMDB IDs to identify movies and TV and it always works fine. Pop in ID, search and select.
Apart from one title. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13588832/
If I pop tt13588832 into the IMDb ID search, it comes up "Search Results" then the rest is blank.
I have looked at logs, but nothing is appearing in them for this.
Thanks.

IMDB doesn't have an API. IIRC, when you use an IMDB ID, we actually use TMDB which is supposed to translate the IMDB to their match TMDB listing. Sometimes that doesn't work.
Instead of an IMDB ID, try using a TMDB ID.

Thanks for the info. It's not on TMDB, so that would be why it's not coming up. Good to know for future reference. Thanks.
