 My recording rules are all set up manually. Even though I configured
 mythTv to automatically download artwork for my recordings, it never
 worked. I read the Wiki page "Enhancing Recordings with Metadata Lookup"
 to look for hints. Next, I experimented with running 'mythmetadatalookup
 --refresh-all-rules'. In the output from that operation, I found the
 following pattern repeating.

 ''2014-09-06 00:48:14.817623 I  Running Grabber:
 /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -l en -a US -N Orphan Black
 (Manual Record) 2014-04-18 19:00:00
 2014-09-06 00:48:15.124764 I  Running Grabber:
 /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -l en -a US -M Orphan Black
 (Manual Record)
 2014-09-06 00:48:15.426320 I  Metadata Lookup Failed: No Results Orphan
 Black (Manual Record) 0 0''

 I noticed that the title string being passed to the utility included
 "(Manual Record)", so I tried running the same command, by hand, with and
 without that suffix.

 ''/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -l en -a US -M "Orphan
 Black (Manual Record)"
 /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -l en -a US -M "Orphan
 Black"
 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
 <metadata>
   <item>
     <language>en</language>
     <title>Orphan Black</title>
     <inetref>260315</inetref>
 ...''

 This version without " (Manual Record)" was able to retrieve metadata.

 In the code, I found that programinfo.cpp adds that string :

 {{{
  926     description = title =
  927         QString("%1 (%2)").arg(title).arg(QObject::tr("Manual
 Record"));
 }}}


 I've implemented a fix, in the attached patch, where I strip out the
 interfering string in two methods in metadatagrabber.cpp. After doing so,
 automatic collection of metadata is now working for me, at least when the
 title is unique.
