Engine -> OFDB - Gateway functionality doesn't work properly

[rocKay82]

Dear andig,
I just sign up in github. I've been using the videoDB for several years now. The ofdb adding doesn't work since a longer time. Today I've updated your latest changes. As I saw the ofdb adding is change to ofdbgw.org now?! Generally that's probably a good idea, but it looks like ofdbgw.org doesn't work properly (even with a simple browser example request). Is that known? I'd like to get that fixed. Or how do I chose between using ofdbgw.org or directly ofdb.de?? If I can help somehow, just let me know. I also already tried to get in contact with the ofdbgw.org hoster, Tobias Scheeper. Got a little bit coding experience too. Thanks in advance.

I'm happy to accept PRs but no longer actively maintaining this repo.

Alright, thanks for your answer. Try to solve some issue on my own.
Last working Gateway server seems to be ofdbgw.geeksphere.de, but has to be adjusted static, as the routing doesn't work correctly.
Also has the same issues like on OFDBScraper engine. Covers doesn't work and Genre comedy also not. Unfortunately I don't have possibilities to fix the gateway itself. So this will get obsolet.
OFDB Scraper is usable with some small fixes.

Looked into this, by the looks of it the gateway functionality is gone, only scraping is left.
I'm tempted to merge both ofdb and ofdbscraper into one 'engine' and drop the ofdbscraper prefix in favour of the ofdb prefix.
Any thoughts or reservations?

Going to close #107 and #109 in favour of this issue
