I just uploaded a poster for "A Tale of Two Villages" (https://www.imdb.com/es-es/title/tt0042558/) because the IMDb number (tt0042558) wasn't showing up in the CineMaterial database. When I checked the "pending uploads" section, I saw that there was already a much higher-quality poster.

I tried searching for the IMDb number again on CineMaterial, but it's still returning zero results.

Is this a bug?

The same thing happens with "Étienne" (https://www.imdb.com/es-es/title/tt0200318/)

The IMDb number doesn't appear in the CineMaterial database (but the poster is already online).

Yes, it is a bug. The search by name works. The search by the IMDb number no. As in all the new movies uploaded since 2025.
