Fetch IMDB information
imdbfetcher relies on several services to get the best information. The basic installation does not require any external module. It relies on the omdb API. For better matches, use external python modules:
- tmdbsimple (very efficient)
- pytvdbapi
- python-imdb
- duckduckgo (requires mechanize and bs4 modules)
