IMDB changed their page format about that time. There is a fix out there which I applied to my
Knoppmyth R5E50. Here is what I did:

Change to a temporary directory. I used my userid home directory:

cd /home/userid

svn co \
http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/branches/release-0-20-fixes/mythplugins/mythvideo/mythvideo/scripts

# Change to the scripts directory created by the svn command
cd scripts

ls -al
# Should see the following files:  README, allocine.pl, imdb.pl, ofdb.pl

cd /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts

# Rename all of the original files in the mythvideo/scripts directory to *.orig with the following
command

for n in *;do mv $n ${n}.orig ; done

# Copy the files downloaded by svn to this directory.
cp /home/userid/scripts/* .

ls -al 
# Verify that the new files are there.

Now all of the IMDB info fetching should work again.
