Tudou Plugin: unable to fetch first episode, filter by country and release year

[Filter by Country or Release Year]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Select filter

2. Pick any genre

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

After selecting a genre, the user is usually prompted to select a region and 
then the year of release. Instead, these two options are skipped altogether.

[First Episode of any TV Series:]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Select a TV series

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected to see all available episodes. Instead, the name of the first episode 
is corrupted and, when played, it takes you to the second episode. In effect, 
the first episode is skipped.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

XBMC 11.0 on Linux Mint 12.0 using Gnome 3.

Please provide any additional information below.

The first problem (filtered by region and release year) was caused by changes 
in hyperlinks appearing in the filter panel. This is relatively easy to 
resolve. 

The second problem occurred because the iid for the first episode had been 
removed from the show overview page. At the moment, the iid for the first 
episode can only be determined by accessing the page that contains the video 
player (i.e. the album?).

I have attached a revised default.py that addresses these problems.
