Issue fetching metadata from TMDB (4.9.3 / 4.9.5 - Debian - api.themoviedb.org)

[BillyWok 0]

Hello

It seems that the searching process is broken.

Versions tested: 4.9.3 / 4.9.5
OS: Debian 12
API: api.themoviedb.org
Content: Casino Jack (2010)

From the 4.9.5 logs, the issue starts here: 2026-05-20 08:47:20.222 Error App: Error in TheMovieDb
From the 4.9.3 logs, the issue starts here: 2026-05-20 08:42:48.440 Error App: Error in TheMovieDb

Could you please have a look, or should I report this issue on another forum (TheMovieDb app forum)?

Thank you in advance.

Have a good day.
Regards,

It's because of double compression: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/6a0cf9a5dd8f54b8836a3750
