[mythtv-users] MythVideo IMDB lookup fails (Myth 0.13,Debianunstable)

[Jeff Mottishaw]

You truly are a god :) thx again... Works like a charm (against cvs). 

On another note, now that searching works, can I "complain" about it?
hehe

A couple search examples

1. Scratch (0143861) my file is called "Scratch - The Movie.avi" and it
comes up with no results
2. Jackass (0322802) my file is called "Jackass The Movie CD1.avi" and
it comes up with no results
3. any movie with something like dvdrip.xvid at the end comes up with
nothing..

Is it possible that if it came up with no results it could try more
generic queries.. the first word or two for example.

I posted a patch that fixes this against current CVS.  If anyone has a
clean 0.13 source perhaps they could verify that the patch works against
it as well (it should).  The patch is posted here:
