Watcher3 Errors With Newznab Indexers

This is a fairly recent problem, I'm not sure exactly which update pull started it but anyway:

Here's a log excerpt, I've redacted a private spotweb based indexer.

I just tested with Usenet Crawler and it worked as expected. Are you using NZBHydra or something similar?

Nope.

I'm not sure if this issue is actually causing Watcher 3 to fail, it seems to occur only when it's searching by imdb id.

This is after updating to current this afternoon:

With another imdb id it works fine, ie https://www.usenet-crawler.com/api?apikey=NOPE&t=movie&imdbid=2140479

Does this occur with all movies or just tt0101807?

I'm not able to get it to throw as many errors are you are getting no matter what I attempt to search.

Try entering http://www.usenet-crawler.com/api?apikey=APIKEY&t=movie&imdbid=0101807 in your browser (with your api key of course) and see if the xml looks like this:
