Sounds like the same issue Chris2922 was talking about here: http://www.themoviedb.org/talk/520a61f219c2957f3f01d9cb

To search with a year on the website you need to use the y:XXXX notation.

http://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=+B.O.B.%27s+Big+Break+y%3A2009

Ie. B.O.B.'s Big Break y:2009

Cheers.

Hi Travis.

Thanks for the reply. I know now what NOT to enter in the search box. And hopefully this won't affect the rescans in XBMC.

I posted this because I was trying out PLEX, and that movie did not pick up. Most other movies named exectly the same way, with the year in brackets, did pick up in the scan.

Confused, because B.O.B. also did not pick up on TMDB. I see now that SOME movies don't pick up anymore with the year in brackets.

As Chris said, this colon character could be a potential problem for Windows users, as the character is not supported in file names.

Leo..

I see now that SOME movies don't pick up anymore with the year in brackets.

There's two things to remember.

1. It's possible that the titles that are working have an alternative title added with the year in brackets.
2. Plex can support the API way of doing this by parsing out the 4 digits in-between some brackets and do the proper query with the ?year= parameter. I'm not sure if they do this or not but you can ask. They're pretty good about updating and fixing these kinds of things.
