The problem seems to be because the website sometimes force users to see a welcome page. I was try to fix this by spoof. But this will be harder to than expected. So if someone wants to work on that, she/he is welcome.

filmweb is in utf - so i flag the outputted xml as utf-8
after fixchars="1" there is no "oacute problem", but i have encoding problem - looks like i'm getting utf-8 encoded results which is passed through a utf-8 converter yet again (which doesnt play nice)

Hi,
The new scraper is working pretty well except of two problems/bugs that I have.
First is that in movies list, some movies instead of only title, eg. "Hitman" has something like this "Hitman (2007) - Filmweb".
And Second is that if scraper doesn't find the movie, it's not added to the library and then it's hard to find which movie is not added (I have to search for it manually), this could be easier if such movie will be added to the library with for eg. unknown title
