Hi Ross,

There appears to be some sort of error with what the tmdb.py library is
expecting from the website API. In the mean time you can work around it
by replacing the offending line with the following;

try:
    results = tmdb.search(title)
except:
    log.exception('Movies: TMDB problem searching')
    return

I'll update the released version to have this soon.
