Metadata for collections not searching

[matt_ttam123 6]

It seems that it never actually searches for the title, which makes me then end up going onto the moviedb getting the id and searching that which yields a result with the same name that I typed into the name box when making a new collection.

I'm having the same problem.  How do you get the ID from themoviedb?  I cannot seem to find it (for Lord of the Rings). I don't mind fixing it by using the ID as I don't have many collections.

Collection id is 119.  You should be able to see this in any of the movies metadata also.

i think there is a bug that needs to be reported to themoviedb. any volunteers?

 

The collection search api

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/collection?api_key={apikey}&query=the+lord+of+the+rings+collection&language=en

returns 

{"page":1,"results":[],"total_pages":1,"total_results":2}

saying there's 2 results, but the results aren't provided in the list.

Posted on their API forum.

The fix for this is being deployed right now. Results will start working as soon as the cached items start expiring from cache (~4 hours).

This appears to fixed with my test, can someone else verify.

Now returns
