Add paging to search UI

[panmona]

When searching for movies only the first ~20 movies are shown. When your wished movie is not on that page, you can't add that movie. So I suggest to add paging like on themoviedb.
By the way: a filter like "release year" would be very nice to have.

Both of these features are supported by their API: https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/search/search-movies

Good points! I guess I've never needed to page next on the search page. I like the release date filter as well. I'll keep this open until I have time to work on it.

I noticed this issue when I was trying to add the movie Burning.
Is there a way to manually circumvent this limitation for the time being?

Yeah, a workaround is to just swap the tmdb id in the URL. So, just click on a random search result, and then swap the id in the URL. So, Burning has the tmdb id of 491584 so swap like:

• http://nefarious.example.com/static/index.html#/media/movie/123456
• http://nefarious.example.com/static/index.html#/media/movie/491584

^ I got the tmdb id of Burning from the link you provided. It's in the URL.

@panmau, I added paging to the Search screen. See f5d86ea. I'm closing this ticket but keep in mind it'll take an hour or so for the docker image to be built via Github Actions.

Just checked it, thanks for adding it 👍
Would be even better if the current/previous/later pages could also be shown but that's just a nice to have and not really important. Time is better spent focusing on some other issues!
