Comment (by pbennett):

 I tested the change and it is now including the information, and it is in
 the same format as in the old version of the program.
 {{{
     <categories>
       <category type="genre" name="Crime"/>
       <category type="genre" name="Drama"/>
       <category type="genre" name="Horror"/>
     </categories>
     <studios>
       <studio name="NBC"/>
     </studios>
     <runtime>45</runtime>
 }}}
 However, genres do not get updated in the MythTV database when running
 mythmetadatalookup. I chose a manual recording that had no metadata,
 changed its title to Hannibal and subtitle to Aperitif. I ran the metadata
 lookup job. It got the artwork, but no genres were added to the database
 for that show. The above display shows an extract of what is returned for
 that show. The programgenres table has no entry for that show and
 filtering in the frontend has that show under unknown genre. It looks like
 genres are not being populated by mythmetadatalookup. Perhaps only
 mythfilldatabase supports them.
