Comment(by r.d.vaughan at rogers.com):

 !! Jamu v0.3.7 completely replaces all previous versions !!

 1) Cleaned up documentation consistence for Warning and Error messages.

 2) Removed redundant code.

 3) Sync up with v1.0 of tvdb_api and the new way to assign tvdb api key.
 The latest version of ttvdb.py (v0.9.6 - ticket
 http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6242) is required.

 4) Fixed a bug when TMDB does not have a 'year' for a movie (e.g. 'Bambi')

 5) Fixed a bug when ffmpeg cannot find the true time length in minutes of
 a video file

 6) Fixed a bug in the file rename option (-MF) correcting lower case TV
 series names to the series name as they appears on thetvdb.com

 7) Added Jamu compatibility with or without the application of the
 MythTV.py Ticket #6678

 8) Remove all use of the python binding MythVideo.py "pruneMetadata"
 function as it is not yet 'Videos' Storage Group aware and would delete
 records from the Mythvideo table for all video files with a relative
 filename.

 9) Jamu is now restricted to only run on PC's that are a MythTV backend
 (master or slave). This has been done to avoid potential issues with
 multiple backends.

 10) Except with the "Scheduled and Recorded" option (-MW) Jamu will exit
 if the backend Jamu is running on, has any Video and/or graphic file
 storage groups. Currently Jamu does not support these types of storage
 groups.

 11) The Janitor option (-MJ) now checks if the plugins MythGallery,
 MythGame and/or MythMusic are using  the same graphics directories as
 MythVideo. If they share directories the Janitor (-MJ) option will exit
 without removing any graphics files. Messages are displayed indicating
 which directories are in conflict.

 12) Jamu will now restrict itself to updating only videometadata records
 whose video files are local to the current host backend. In the case where
 a user has multiple backends Jamu must run on each of those backends.

 13) Added the detection of video or graphic files residing on a NFS mount.
 If detected Jamu displays a message and exists without any processing. A
 new option for NFS (-N) when added to any (-M) option string will allow a
 user to override this check and Jamu will continue processing. The NFS
 check prevents the situation where a user has more than one MythTV backend
 using the same directories to store either video files or graphics. Jamu's
 option (-M) can adversely effect the users MythTV database by mistakenly
 adding videos from other backends or with the Janitor (-MJ) option
 mistakenly remove graphics files. If a user only have one backend or does
 not mix the Video or graphic file NFS directories between backends and
 still want to use Jamu add the options (N) to your option string e.g.
 (-MJN), which will skip the NFS check and allow processing to continue.

 14) Added an option (-MG) to allow Jamu to perform a "best guess" for a
 video file's internet reference number from themoviedb.com, imdb.com or
 thetvdb.com. For accurate guessing the video file name must be very close
 to the names found on themoviedb, imdb or thetvdb web sites. When more
 than one possibility exists the video file will be skipped. This option
 works especially well when the video file named is using Schedule Direct's
 - TV series: title and subtitle or a Movie's: title and original air date
 information.

 15) Added to the existing TV episode video file renaming (-MF) option. Now
 movie video files can also be renamed to the format "title (year)" e.g.
 "The Duchess (2008)". If themoviedb.com has no year for the movie then
 only the movie title will be used when renaming. Any existing metadata is
 preserved.
