It really is a problem. I opened the ticket at TMDB and when I found out it was a known problem I had to switch to using the Universal Movie scraper with iMDB. Unfortunately the iMDB is nowhere near as complete or intelligent as TMDB and I now have numerous unknown movies (mostly shorts for the kids, for example Toy Story shorts). I also had to change about 30 movie titles so the iMDB would recognize them. It doesn't like things like "Tremors 2", it wants the entire title like "Tremors 2 Back to Perfection". I hope the extra data fields can be added to the TMDB scraper as soon as possible. It is unfortunate that the developers at TMDB didn't give the Kodi developers any notice of the changes.

I wouldn't have gone that far. They have to fix it soon regardless. Using REGEX on JSON (Basically a web type of hash return) probably wasn't the best way to handle it which is why other tools weren't affected using that site, but it's also easy to fix. I suspect the fix to be extremely quick and possibly a more robust solution in the future. I also preferred the data from IMDB initially but it's incomplete and the consumer driven data at TMDB is just more there, although there can be some arguments on which dates to use but that's another issue.

OR, you can try to take it upon yourself with the above REGEX change. Make a backup if you do... Or wait for the above fix to propogate. It hasn't thus far on either windows or Ubuntu platforms forcing an update. May not likely apply to otherwise smart devices though without direct access to files through a conventional computer type setting.
