 ofdb.py has some charset issues.

 When searching for a movie ID using ofdb.py -M, the query is sent encoded
 as UTF8 and the server does not return any hits. It seems it expects
 iso-8859-15 instead.

 I tried to recode the query to iso-8859-15 inside ofdb.py, but urllib
 would complain because it was expecting ASCII. I'm not sure where to go
 from here.

 The movie meta data returned by ofdb.py doesn't look good in the video
 manager either. It looks like UTF-8 being displayed as latin-1, eg you get
 two weird characters instead of one umlaut.The same happens in the
 console, but it goes away if I comment out

 {{{
 content = unicode(content, charset)
 }}}
 in line 105.


 Here's a simple test case:
 ofdb.py -M 'identität'

 My terminal and my environment are both set to UTF-8.
