[mythtv-users] tmdb3.py with/without year

[Matt Garman]

According to the documentation here
    http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_File_Parsing
"Note: Adding the year in YYYY format to a movies filename will help
with duplicate matching."

But I've noticed that adding the date to a movie causes tmdb3.py to
(sometimes) return no results.

For example, the following returns many results (25 to be exact):
# tmdb3.py -M "Predator"

However, the first one is what I want, and the metadata shows
<year>1987</year>, so I'll add that to the filename, and maybe it will
filter out all the extraneous results.  Nope, now I get zero results:
# tmdb3.py -M "Predator 1987"

I've tried this for many titles, where leaving out the date gives lots
of matches, but adding the date gives zero matches.

Am I doing something wrong?  Maybe my tmdb3.py is too old?  It's version 0.3.7.

Thanks for any suggestions!
