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

Tried several instances listed on their GitHub page...

Search functions as expected but clicking any item in search results yields 500 error. 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

None too helpful...

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.
