 Severity:  medium                  |

 I noticed that with the most recent versions of MythVideo (.18 and .19)
 the imdb.pl script was truncating incorrectly using parseBetween(). An
 example of this is with IMDB id 0388795 [http://imdb.com/title/tt0388795/
 Brokeback Mountain]

 When the Plot Outline is parsed the script finds a link and stops reading.
 So the only thing returned is:
 Based on the

 The rest is truncated because there is a link in the outline and the
 parseBetween just looks for a link tag and not a link pointing to /rg
 /title-tease/plotsummary/title/tt$movieid/plotsummary

 I also found a previous bug report
 http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/8543 that changed how genre was
 parsed. I am not sure why it was modified to the way it is, because it now
 causes a problem stemming from the same link. Using this same example the
 returned genres are:
 Drama,Romance,E. Annie Proulx

 I know more must be scanned than is neccesary for genre, but detecting all
 links doesn't seem wise. Perhaps only parsing links that are
 /Sections/Genres as genres might be wiser. If I have time I will try to
 modify the imdb.pl script to do this.
