[mythtv] mythvideo downloading posters from themoviedb.org

[Kelly Carmichael]

actually I am sending it to the devel list because I think it is more of a development issue.

mythvideo is using QTNetwork Qhttp:get function which is obsoleted according to the documentation, and I think the QT function is broken in newer versions of the QT library, but I have never spent any time using QT, so I am not sure if is something with the version of QT I have installed or the way it was coded within mythvideo.

I was trying all sorts of titles to download the metadata for  ... I tried very old movie titles "Rosemary's Baby" and very new just release movie titles to see if the data that was being returned by  themoviedb.org was different for some titles based on when it was entered into the system ... ie did it just recently start using fully qualified hostnames or URLs

I guess I am trying to figure out if multiple developers are seeing this kind of behavior with the SVN snapshots of mythtv, and if not could someone point me to a stable version of QT that I should be running that is known to not have the broken Qhttp?

Or should that code be updated to remove use of Qhttp:get as it is obsoleted and is not to be used according to nokia's website.

thanks for your time
