imdb's Issues

NewTitle function not working any more

Hi

It seems, that the call

`title, err := imdb.SearchTitle(client, movie_name)`

if returning an error:

`imdb: parsing error: id`

Tested with latest version v1.0.15

Maybe it is due to an imdb server update ?

Cheers

Can not get search results

I think imdb changed their web search result page and removed the /table item. So no results are returned.
It does that some of the times, I get no results about half of the times.

imdb: parsing error: languages

Hello, i see issue imdb: parsing error: languages. Please help.
Thnks,

imdb: parsing error: id

It seems that IMDb has made some changes to their website. Parsing is no longer working, and I keep receiving the message: imdb: parsing error: id `
It appears that the issue might be related to the URLs.

imdb: parsing error: list when trying to search title

Hey, love the package

My tests recently broken and I didn't change anything - I am getting this error from the package

"imdb: parsing error: list"

It seems to be coming from this callsite: https://github.com/StalkR/imdb/blob/master/search.go#L98

Here is the code that worked as of three days ago

results, err := imdb.SearchTitle(client, title)
	if err != nil {
		return 0, err
	}

//Where client is

client := &http.Client{
		Timeout:   10 * time.Second,
		Transport: &customTransport{http.DefaultTransport},
	}

// which is being called from this function. I tried adding these headers (originally had user agent and language) but it did not help. Not sure if its WAF blocking me or IMDB changed something on purpose. But it would be helpful to have more detailed error messages

func getImdbTechInfo(titleID string, client *http.Client) ([]soup.Root, error) {
	// set fake header and stuff so imdb doesnt block
	soup.Header("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/107.0.0.0 Safari/537.36")
	soup.Header("Authority", "m.media-amazon.com")
	soup.Header("Accept", "image/avif,image/webp,image/apng,image/svg+xml,image/*,*/*;q=0.8")
	soup.Header("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.9")
	soup.Header("Cache-Control", "max-age=0")
	soup.Header("Sec-Ch-Ua-Mobile", "?0")
	soup.Header("Sec-Ch-Ua-Platform", "\"macOS\"")
	soup.Header("Sec-Fetch-Dest", "image")
	soup.Header("Sec-Fetch-Mode", "no-cors")
	soup.Header("Sec-Fetch-Site", "cross-site")
	soup.Header("Sec-Fetch-User", "?1")
	soup.Header("Referer", "https://www.imdb.com/")
	soup.Header("Content-Type", "text/plain;charset=UTF-8")
	soup.Header("Origin", "https://www.imdb.com")
	soup.Header("X-Imdb-Client-Name", "imdb-ics-tpanswerscta")

	// use our slow client
	resp, err := soup.GetWithClient(fmt.Sprintf("https://www.imdb.com/title/%s/technical", titleID), client)
	if err != nil {
		return []soup.Root{}, err
	}
	log.Debug("Done getting soup response")
	docs := soup.HTMLParse(resp)
	
	// the page uses tr/td to display the info
	res := docs.Find("div", "id", "technical_content").Find("table").FindAll("tr")

	return res, nil
}

I ran search_test.go from your library and it works, but I put this test into my test suite and got the same error... strange

	client := &http.Client{
		Timeout:   10 * time.Second,
		Transport: &customTransport{http.DefaultTransport},
	}
	title := "Lord of the rings"
	r, err := imdb.SearchTitle(client, title)
	if err != nil {
		t.Fatalf("SearchTitle(%s) error: %v", title, err)
	}
	if len(r) < 10 {
		t.Fatalf("SearchTitle(%s) len < 50: %d", title, len(r))
	}
	if accepted := map[string]bool{
		"tt7631058": true, // The Lord of the Rings (TV Series)
		"tt0120737": true, // The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
	}; !accepted[r[0].ID] {
		t.Errorf("SearchTitle(%s)[0].ID = %v; want any of %v", title, r[0].ID, accepted)
	}

Any idea? Should I stop coding late at night? I am at a loss how your suite runs locally but even if I copy/paste your tests they fail with the same error.
