External ID search doesn't always seem to work for episodes

#380

Hi

I have problems getting the find method to work for episodes using external ids, even though ticket #290 Create the tv series/season/episode external ids methods (resolved) seems to indicate that it should work. Take for example Breaking Bad's Pilot:

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/1396/season/1/episode/1/external_ids

Correctly returns the imdbid of tt0959621, but the converse method

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/find/tt0959621?external_source=imdb

returns a null result.

Otherwise - thanks for a great job on a great web service!

    Whoa - sorry Travis - I see now that you seem to be the only one writing tickets... :|

    Disregard - I'll figure out how to report it using the correct channel

    Hey Fifthreaper,

    It's ok, we have users write tickets from time to time.

    You're not missing anything, I haven't hooked up seasons and episodes to the /find method yet. That's why there's no object being returned for them either.

    This is planned and you can keep watching this ticket for updates.

    Thanks!

    Sorry to do a reopen Travis, but seeing that you've marked Judge Dredd as complete I figure that any fixes should be uploaded to the server by now, and the url that I provided in the original post is still returning a null result... am I doing something wrong?

    Hey Fifthreaper,

    The example above is not a valid request.

    http://api.themoviedb.org/3/find/tt2109248?api_key=###&external...

    Would be the one you're after.

    Cheers!
