Can't seem to get any of its instances to bring anything up from IMDb (owned by amazon).

I was actually unaware that IMDb is owned by Amazon. I will redouble my efforts to use TMDB instead.

Yeah, I might do the same. Unfortunately, IMDb has been around for quite a long time and has much more information than TMDb does (at least since the last time I checked). TMDb also (I think?) isn't open source.

Ah no, it's not - I have been fooled by this community-driven approach. They are in a position to enshittify, so this might not be a good long-term solution.
