Showtimes information does not fit on screen #1

Hi,

I am currently located in Zürich. Consequently, most of the Hollywood films that are screened here, are "Dubbed in English, Subtitled in German and French". Now, if I want to see the show times for such a film the information does not fit on the screen. It therefore becomes impossible to see when the film will be screened.

I am attaching a screenshot which illustrates this issue.

Several things are missing here:

Only the actual showtime info should be in the subtitle. I'll have to improve the parsing rules for that.
Movie showtimes should discard sessions already started, so if it's 18:00, earlier sessions aren't shown.
Even if that's ensured, there could be many sessions which don't fit. Other possibilities should be explored.

I've been checking this issue, and this is an interesting feature in Switzerland cinemas, since they offer different subtitles / dubbed versions for different sessions. As a consequence, I'm not going to remove that: it's really interesting having it.

What I did is simply allow wrapping for both the title and showtimes, so all the information is visible.

This is now fixed in the master branch, and will be available in the next release.
