Looks like imdb have changed their posters page layout. Just edit you
imdb.pl file (probably located in
/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts) and change line 282 from...

my $impsite = parseBetween($response, "<a href=\"".$site, "\">".$site);

...to...

my $impsite = parseBetween($response, "<a href=\"".$site,
"\">\(Theatrical Movie Posters\)");


That should fix the problem.
