Failures to extract correct User Rating in IMDB plugin

Issue #709 resolved
prl created an issue

In many IMDb searches (e.g. Castle), the IMDB plugin matches the wrong text for the user rating and the conversion of this text to a float (to display the rating stars) causes an exception. The exception is caught, but the whole display of the IMDB Plugin Details screen fails.

On some more recent movies, the text for the MetaCritic rating (out of 100) is matched instead of the User Rating (out of 10), and an inflated user rating is displayed. E.g. the User rating for Full Metal Jacket displays as 76/10.

The cause is a change in the format of the HTML that displays the user rating in the IMDB search results. A simple change to the screen scraper regular expression for the user rating fixes the above problems.
