Bug - script.module.metahandler

All ish I'm trying to point out an issue with the metahandler version 2.9.0. Please keep it civil or just remove this thread. I'm not here to say I told you so or anything like that. I just want to get the metahandler issues addressed so myself and others can use it as intended. I don't care who fixes the issues as long as someone does. I'm not hear to talk about my "poor code" or anything like that either.

I'm going to post 4 text files. 3 files that show the issues with retrieving tv shows using the current version 2.9.0 which are not working correctly and one using the version 3.0.3 which is working correctly.

Title = Show title without year
Year = 4 digit year(yyyy) as string

First test using version 2.9.0, meta = metaget.get_meta('tvshow', name='Title').
Notice Empire and The Flash. It retrieves the wrong shows because there are multiple shows with that title from different years. These are only 2 examples of many shows I have come across that match incorrectly or dont match at all.

Second test using version 2.9.0, meta = metaget.get_meta('tvshow', name='Title (Year)').
Barely anything matches but does match Empire and The Flash correctly.

Third test using version 2.9.0, meta = metaget.get_meta('tvshow', name='Title', year='Year').
Barely anything matches but does match Empire and The Flash correctly.

Fourth test using my updated version 3.0.3, meta = metaget.get_meta('tvshow', name='Title', year='Year').
Notice all shows match correctly including Empire and The Flash.

I would like to also point out in version 2.9.0 the log is plagued with errors like these below.

I think Brian over at omdbapi.com would appreciate someone doing something about all the denied requests to his site. Version 2.9.0 is inadvertently ddos'ing his site and api.
