tvdb search
Hi, I wanted to let you know that I found an issue. When theres no tvdb ID added to a series, a magnifying glass appears. If i click on that it directs me to tvdb and inserts the original title of the series to the searching field on tvdb. At least this should happen. But this currently only works for IMDB, not anymore for tvdb. For example when you search the tvdb entry for Hitler's Secret Sex Life it directs you to
https://www.thetvdb.com/search?l=en&q=Hitler%27s+Secret+Sex+Life
instead of
https://www.thetvdb.com/search?query=Hitler%27s%20Secret%20Sex%20Life.
I guess tvdb changed their settings about that.

I don't know if TVDB has changed.
I know the TvDB search URL currently used here on TMDb is this:

https://www.thetvdb.com/search?l=en&q={search+terms}  

I believe the search URL format for IMDB and TvDB are different.

https://www.thetvdb.com/search?l=en&q={search+terms}  
https://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q={search+terms}

They must have changed it, otherwise it would never have worked. (idk though, I am not very into series editing)

Yes, but it should be

https://www.thetvdb.com/search?query={word1%20word2%20word3} 

-> %20 for spaces, not '+' ; and "query" instead of "l=en&q"

I believe the search URL format for IMDB and TvDB are different.

https://www.thetvdb.com/search?l=en&q={search+terms}  
https://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q={search+terms}   

They are different, but thats not a problem. Shouldn't be too difficult to change that. If(someone clicks on magnifying glass), open new tab with the adress [ https://www.thetvdb.com/search?query=originalTitle ] using %20 as spaces between words

I believe that only Travis Bell can resolve this issue.

This got solved now, thanks!
