Changed movie name extraction for IMDB

Description

I noticed the imdb perl script that came default on my Ubuntu distro couldn't look up any of my movies so I made a few changes that will hopefully bring better results without the need to rename the files.

It breaks the file name into tokens using a list of delimiters and will build the movie title using these tokens until one is in the 'endls' list, at which point it stops. After browsing the source it looks like this is the same functionality thats found in the python scripts that mythvideo has.

You don't need to rename files, the lookup uses the title in the metadata not the file name. This has recently been made easier with manual title searches as well.
