§9.2 says the search box accepts a raw IMDb id, and #127 made TMDB ids resolve
against both movies and TV. IMDb ids still resolve movies only: arr-meta has
find_movie_by_imdb and find_series_by_tvdb, with no path from an IMDb id to
a series. Pasting a show's tt id therefore returns nothing, in either the
in-library or the TMDB result set.

TMDB's /find/{external_id}?external_source=imdb_id already returns
tv_results alongside movie_results, so this is reading a field the existing
call almost certainly discards rather than a new endpoint. Check
find_movie_by_imdb first.

Resolve an IMDb id against both kinds and surface whichever it matches, the way
a TMDB id now behaves. A wiremock fixture whose /find response carries a
tv_results entry covers it.
