I’ve run into a wacky ass problem.
I’ve been trying to search for a movie called “9”, which was made in 2009. It’s an animated movie about sentient burlap dolls that I remember fondly as a kid and want to watch again. IMDB
Problem being, the title of it is basically impossible to search on my sites of choice. I rely on 1337x for the most part. and for the life of me, I cannot search the name of this movie. It either pulls up everything with 9 in the title, some unrelated movie called Nine also released in 2009, or nothing at all if I try to quote-search it.
Anyone have a better site (with search by imdb?) to get it from or can find a mag link to dm? Or maybe know the right way to trick the search box into actually finding the movie
I havent used those sites in a while, I have setup Arr stack for myself, but YTS was always my go-to in the past
Use the IMDB ID for search in that instance.
The ID is the part of the URL that starts with “tt”. Lots of sites support that and for instances like that it’s the best bet. Do include the double t when searching.
Note: this works via API with jackett. It will probably work otherwise but worth trying the searcher plugins in qBittorrent using this method even without jackett.
Pirate bay, search for "9 2009”. You can find it about 3/4 of the way down the page
You can search for “9 2009” to help finding it. Not on first page but does appear (check pm)
Thanks, your link worked, cheers mate
I typically get around this by adding the year.
so for this example, I would search “9 (2009)”
I tried that but then it gives me anything else in 2009 for like 4 pages. It’s quite annoying.
radarr/prowlarr handle this plenty fine, no idea how they do it under the hood
On some sites if you use the advanced search (ext.to for example), you can search by the IMDb ID.
This is like when I was trying to find music for the band “sex vid”
sex vid band music -porn -xxx -nsfw -explicit…
Very unrelated. But I recall this being the first instance of trailers that I watched and was disappointed when the song in the trailer (Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria) was not present in the movie at all.
Reminds me of buying the OST for the movie High-rise (2015) and it didn’t include the Portishead SOS cover from the end credits.
good luck, I also have a strange affection for that movie
I’m glad I’m not the only one haha
After a bit of searching on 1337x, I found a couple torrents whose screenshots seem to be from 9 (cgi burlap dolls) but 1337x is putting a cover image for some other movie called cloud 9 at the top of the description. The comments say the 1337x auto binding messed up.
For example, see the one listing that comes up for the exact search term “9 2009 1080p BDRip x265 DTS HD MA 5 1 Kira SEV” paying attention to the screenshots and comments.
Yeah I noticed that after I got a working link. I think that IMDB mismatch is what was fucking up my search, since cloud 9 was not made in 2009.
4th search result on the 2nd try on iptorrents
haha been there, however I did succeed on finding it and it was either 1337x or ext.to
it sucks they don’t have -term and “term” to refine searchI know right? The one thing that puts me off about 1337x is that their search tool is still stuck in 2002. And it’s kind of aids. No tags, no advanced terms, no filtering. kinda sucks.
