imdb page layout restructuring

Seems imdb has changed their page layout again. This is bad news for all parsers, such as MMS, which relies on the format of the html structure for fetching information. Luckily MMS has already been updated and now works with the latest page layout. Expect a release soonish. There are two things I would like to do to better this current playing catch up situation:

  1. Find out if imdb is willing to give FOSS projects access to their xml data
  2. Create a library, like imdbpy but in c++, to encapsulate the imdb parsing if 1 fails
