</div></div>Currently adding the year doesn't give you any additional info (as<br>
you've found out, it actually makes it return zero results). This is<br>
because while the API for <a href="http://www.themoviedb.org/" target="_blank">http://www.themoviedb.org/</a> support adding<br>
the year in queries, MythTV does not parse the year from the filename<br>
and tmdb3.py doesn't support any options for specifying the year.<br>
There has been debate in the past regarding this, but nobody has<br>
stepped forward to do anything about this (and the devs of these<br>
particular features have it working the way they want)..<br>
<br>
It used to work, as V2 of the API supported searching for a title with<br>
the year included in it, but IIRC V3 removed this functionality.<br>
