No TV metadata download when Season = 0 and Episode = 0

[yiannividalis@…]

In the West Wing, there is a special which is actually Season 0 Episode 0. No metadata is downloaded because the episode is treated like a movie.

Additionally, and I think this could be a separate bug, the script doesn't time out when it fails to find a title and I have to kill the mythfrontend program.

No metadata is downloaded even from the Edit Details Screen when I set Season = 0 and Episode = 0. This is by design I think, but in this particular case it doesn't work.

The issue with The West Wing is bogus metadata. Episode indexes *must* start at 1, not 0. This is an issue which needs fixing at TVDB.

Thus, the rest of this ticket is "wontfix."
