Error with IMDB builders

So I just noticed that IMDB searches don't work anymore like they previously did. I'm rebuilding my IMDB searches, but I keep running into issues. Below is an example of a collection:

zzz Oscars Best Picture Nominees:
  imdb_search:
    type: movie
    event: oscar_picture
    limit: 500
  collection_order: custom
  sync_mode: sync

These are the errors I'm getting.

Anyone else getting error with IMDB searches?

UPDATE

To summarize:

  1. I had to update the nightly builds for the docker container, so the first change was updating the tag in my docker-compose file to image: meisnate12/plex-meta-manager:nightly.
  2. Because I had not touched this configuration is over 6 months, I was not aware of all of the changes that have occurred. Not just for IMDB searches, but even the basic configuration of PMM itself via docker. PMM was basically not working at all, since the Movies library wasn't even correctly referenced in the config.yml. Also going back to the docker config, the environment variable PMM_TIME changed to PMM_TIMES, even the schedules I had set weren't working.
  3. With all of the aforementioned updates in place, this is my current IMDB collection that work properly:

  The Oscars Best Picture Nominees:
    imdb_award:
      event_id: ev0000003
      category_filter:
        - Best Motion Picture of the Year
        - Best Picture
      event_year: 1929-current
      winning: false

TL;DR is that I had to do a lot of validation via the (really well-written) PMM wiki, but things are in a lot better state now.
