#11910: TV Metadata Lookup Fails

---------------------------------------------+------------------------
When attempting to retrieve metadata of television programs in MythVideo,
it will always time out.
I've dug into this problem and the culprit seems to be the baseurl used by
the tvdb_api.py script.
The script sets the base url to "http://www.thetvdb.com" on line 395. This
should be "http://thetvdb.com". This was fixed in the upstream version of
this file (https://github.com/dbr/tvdb_api).
According to the tvdb programmers api guide, this script should be looking
up the base url from the mirrors api
(http://thetvdb.com/wiki/index.php?title=Programmers_API#Example_Usage).
This only returns a single URL that doesn't seem to be geographically
significant, so I guess there's not a lot of harm in hard coding it, but I
thought I'd mention it any way.
