There is a patch for this. I did a google on this yesterday for 
"mythtv imdb" The answer to the first hit contains a patch. Take a 
look at:

    <http://www.mail-archive.com/mythtv-dev@mythtv.org/msg00856.html>

In case you are as new to this patch business as I am, you need to 
download the patch into your scripts directory, then apply it. 
Something like this:

     cd /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts
     wget 
http://www.mail-archive.com/mythtv-dev@mythtv.org/msg00856/imdb.pl.patch
     patch < imdb.pl.patch

I did this yesterday and typed it in today from memory and am still 
rather green at this, but that should get you started. Perhaps the 
old timers can verify this. -Chuck-
