Movie.browse totalResults max value is 30

Hi travisbell,
API2 Movie.browse method XML result includes opensearch:totalResults tag, but that tag maximum value is 30. I understand that it represents a number of records on included in the result, but I do not know how many results is there in total. It's impossible to make a pagination without that param. It will be more convenient to set the real total results to this tag, not the response results, as currently, since from the XML response results can be counted.
P. S. And please don't tell me that API2 is deprecated :), since there is not replacement of this method in API3 My app is using API3, but since there is not browse method in it, I have to use API2 browse method for advanced search functionality.
Thanks

Hi alimoco,
… the 2.1 API is deprecated.
2.1 stopped getting worked on around 18 months ago and is not having anything done to it. At some point a browse method will be created for v3, and you can follow the ticket for that here, but until then if you want to use the 2.1 browse method you're going to have to live with however it works today.
Thanks.
