Error when trying to add title tt0108858 (Middlemarch 1994)

Hi, I'm trying to add this title to the database, but keep getting an error message: "There was a problem - Imdb is already taken by Middlemarch (ID: 4149)" I've looked and there is another Middlemarch in the database, but it's for a different iMDb number (tt1019448 - which hasn't been released, yet). I followed the link that says, "click here to find out how to resolve this issue...", but none of the iMDb numbers work (is 4149 an iMDb number? I tried it...no workie). Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
Also, is it alright that I'm trying to add what is technically a TV mini-series? I keep most of these classical "series" (Jane Eyre, Great Ex, Berkeley Square, Martin Chuzzlewit, etc) in the Movie section of my Plex. Thanks in advance! Audrey

Any ideas? Adding this title to your database is the only way that I can select a cover for it in Plex. I'm not rich enough to buy a Mac, so I have to resort to this work-around.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Audrey,
The issue you are running into is described here: http://help.themoviedb.org/kb/editing-movies/understanding-and-fixing-validation-errors
Pay attention to step 3.
This is the movie we believe is the duplicate, http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/4149 is that the movie you are trying to add?
