📄 Description

Fixes several issues with TVDB plugin series search. TVDB would never run a "name only" search in GetSearchResults and GetMetadata for short series names would often return wrong results.

Changes

  1. IsValidSeries always returned true for SeriesInfo object in GetSearchResults.
  2. Never include year in search name as TVDB tends to get confused by it (see #4132).
  3. Improve search result sorting.

Issues
Fixes #4132
