 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.
