Editorial note: this guide is published by the addons-stremio.com Community Team, not by an independent user or the addon developer. How to investigate empty search results returned by The Movie Database Addon Empty search results may come from a missing search extra, an unsupported content type or the addon itself returning no match for that query. Verified directory snapshot - Version: 3.1.7 - Directory status: ONLINE - Declared media types: movie, series - Directory categories: movies, tv-shows, documentaries, kids, music, metadata, tools - Declared languages: ro, tr, es, pt, fr, de, it, ru - Manifest resources: catalog, meta - Catalog entries: 12 - Configuration page: available Practical procedure 1. Install while signed into the Stremio account used on the target device, then restart or refresh that client. 2. Test one known movie or series, record the result, and change only one setting before testing again. For The Movie Database Addon, the manifest currently exposes catalog, meta. Configuration is available. These two facts determine the correct installation path and the place where a result should be visible. They do not prove that every title, provider or region will return content. This page uses the stored manifest and directory health data. It does not invent provider support, speed, availability or legal access, and the information can change when the developer updates the manifest.

Solution
Start with a reproducible baseline for The Movie Database Addon. Record version 3.1.7, remove no settings yet, and verify the declared resources: catalog, meta. Restart Stremio, open one known title that matches a declared media type, and note whether the missing part is the catalog entry, metadata, subtitles or playable source. This keeps four different failures from being described as one vague “not working” problem.

The Movie Database Addon currently declares media types movie, series and 12 catalog entries. Its configuration page is available. If a catalog is not declared, do not use the home-screen row as the only success test. If configuration is available, save the generated setup once and avoid installing several variants until the first one has been checked on the same account.

For a useful follow-up about The Movie Database Addon, include the device, Stremio client version, addon version, one content example and the exact observed resource. The directory status is ONLINE, while declared language coverage is ro, tr, es, pt, fr, de, it, ru; neither value guarantees a result for every item. Do not publish tokens, debrid keys, passwords or a personalized manifest URL in a forum reply.
