tmdb3: Use searchMovieWithYear instead of searchMovie

[angela.schmid@…]

Use searchMovieWithYear instead of searchMovie so that an optional year in the query string is used to query tmdb.

For example "Star Wars (1977)", instead of "Star Wars"

Hmm, will this find "Blues Brothers 2000"? It sounds like it. So this would be preferable to the implementation in ​https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/pull/103

Can you confirm that "Star Wars 1977.mkv" and "Blues Brothers 2000.mkv" both work as expected?

[angela.schmid@…]

Yes it will. When it does not find "(xxxx)" at the end of the query string it uses the query string as is and calls searchMovie unchanged. In case it finds "(xxxx)" and xxxx is a valid date, it strips "(xxxx)" to be passed as the query and calls searchMovie with the additional year argument.

See mythtv/bindings/python/tmdb3/tmdb3/tmdb_api.py

Three years ago i removed the brackets and searched with "Blues Brothers 2000", but i got much better search results for query="Star Wars" and a separate year argument starting with tmdb v3.

Adapting the source to interprete 9999 at the end and checking for a valid year range will give better search results also for "Blues Brothers 2000".

After stripping the date away I would check if the query string is not empty, leaving all as is, in cases like the movie "2012".
