Description
Hello,
I may just be calling the api wrong, but it appears the IMDB noembed may be broken.
All the url's I've tested with return "malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom error.
Examples:
https://noembed.com/embed?url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1386697/
https://noembed.com/embed?url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4853102/

Research direction
Start by reproducing the two listed noembed.com/embed requests with their IMDB URLs and inspect the IMDB source handling that produces the malformed JSON error. Trace the response path for these requests and confirm that both examples return valid embed metadata without the parsing error.
