I just changed to TMDB, their API is free and mostly the same, and they even offer a partnership with JustWatch so you get the watch providers for each movie/show.

I'd actually like to go with Cinemagoer. For now, I replaced search_movie_advanced function with search_movie and it's fine. I believe the error in search_movie_advanced is a temporary thing.

I've implemented a very basic fix so that we should at least be able to get the link and the title of the search results.

The error seems to have been fixed. But returned imdb.Movie.Movie instances after search, used to have more keys earlier. Keys like 'year' and 'kind' are not available with search_movie_advanced. Yet, those keys are returning with search_movie as expected.

[uyar]

Yes, that's why I've called it "very basic" :) After fixing the episodes parser I didn't have much energy left for the search parser. Both pages are pretty difficult to work with. I'll get to the missing keys later.
