I have an anime that has the Anilist ID `136512` in metadata. Doing a lookup on https://arm.haglund.dev/api/v2/ids?source=anilist&id=136512 shows it does resolve to a MAL ID (`49392`), but for some reason the plugin falls back on name search, which fails.
Here are the relevant logs:

```
Not sure why this happens.
Edit: I tried removing all of the other metadata IDs to see if it would help and it didn't:
