Remoteid search with IMDB ID returns extra (seemingly) random data. #317

Open RealTrisT opened 6 months ago

RealTrisT commented 6 months ago

I've found a few IMDB IDs for which the /search/remoteid/{remoteId} endpoint returns seemingly unrelated/broken data along with the desired result. It still contains the series that is being searched for so it doesn't cause problems, but since IMDB IDs are supposedly unique (and there aren't even IDs for seasons) it seems like it could be a bug.

The first example returns a season of a different show, the second example returns the second season of the searched-for show, and the third example returns a "ghost" episode of the same show but with null number and null seasonNumber.
