Movie not found when searching
Hi all
So I am trying to scrape the following movie which exists in the DB https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/705487-never-hike-alone
However when searching for the title both on the website and via API I get 0 results.
Is the DB entry got a problem?
Thanks

curl "https://api.tmdb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=xx&query=Never%20Hike%20Alone"
{"page":1,"total_results":0,"total_pages":0,"results":[]}

Make another attempt.

Works now but not if I include the year 2017. Is that expected? Kodi searches it and adds year so still cant find.

In order for someone to help you with API Request questions, it is critical that you post here the API Request you are using.
Remember to replace your Key with THE_KEY , or something like that.

I have the impression that the include_adult parameter is having problems.
And this movie in question had the adult flag.
The flag was removed because it seems to me that it is not a pornographic film.
So you were able to find it with your API Request.
But now your problem is the Year.
Then, post the API Request you are using.
Only then will I be able to help.

curl "https://api.tmdb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=xx&query=Never%20Hike%20Alone&year=2017&language=en"

I just did a test using my Firefox. Twice.
I used my API Key in your API Request.
Worked perfectly.

EDIT
Try using this text as a query:

Never+Hike+Alone

Yes if I change the query to + it works but sadly the Kodi TMDB scraper does the query string and I cant change that.
This is only title I have this issue with. The Query string I quoted only shows 0 results and thats what Kodi is using so its not finding the movie.
