Add "lookup Movie Info" to the video config screens
Add a button which will go to DVDplanet/Lovefilm and find the correct details for a particular movie in the movie details config screen In the course of adding this feature I have refactored the way that the movie downloads work.
Firstly, the parser scripts are now stored in their own directory (ext/parsers) and any PHP file dropped in there will automatically be selectable as an online movie source. revision:555 revision:556
Secondly, more screen parsing helper functions have been written to make the download and processing of HTML files easier for novice PHP programmers. Hopefully this will encourage people to write plugin scripts that parse from other websites.

Once this was done, the button to lookup movie details for any of the installed parser scripts was added to an entirely new page for viewing the full details. The lookup processes the request, updates the database and then returns you to the details screen. revision:557 revision:558
(NOTE: Need to add a success/fail message)
In addition, returning from the video details or edit screens to the video list remembers your search, filter and page number as that was paricularly annoying!
