A package that allows you to search TheMovieDB, specifically built for Plex Requests.
Features

Installation
meteor add lokenx:themoviedbsearch
Usage
Include your TheMovieDB API Key somewhere in your server-side code.
if(Meteor.isServer){
TMDBSearch.api = "abcdef0123456789"
}
If you would like to change the language, you can set it on the server as well. Acceptable values are ISO 639-1 codes.
if(Meteor.isServer){
TMDBSearch.language = "nl"
}
Insert the search form template where appropriate on the client side. A Bootstrap themed search bar will be provided. No submit button is provided, results are generated as the user types (minimum 3 characters required).
{{> tmdbSearchForm}}
To get the details of the item that gets requested, a simple Template event handler will help out.
Template.tmdbSearchForm.events({
'click .add-request': function () {
console.log(this);
}
})
If you would like to get the IMDB or TVDB id numbers for movies or tv shows respectively, you can use the below method. Variable id is a TheMovieDB id number, and type is a string, either movie or tv.
TMDBSearch.externalIds(id, type);
