Try running this command from a console session: /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/Movie/tmdb.py -l en -M "The Hangover" This may let you tack down what ever issue (maybe python bindings) you are having. Also see if ttvdb.py is working. /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/Television/ttvdb.py -l en -M "Sanctuary" Doug
