Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Solve issue with missing art

When encountering a movie with missing image data, we'd get `EXCEPTION: argument "value" for method "setArt" must be unicode or str`. This is because that's sometimes an empty dict rather than a string. This converts `{}` to `""` to resolve the issue.

(Not that this makes it much better; see CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix#1668)
