Doug:

I finally figured this out.  I had made a trivial change to jamu.py which
got wiped out in a subsequent update.  The change strips off the last
-[0-9]*$ , which I use to insure that I don't have duplicate file names.

It was so trivial and simple that I didn't document it anywhere; so now of
course I cannot find it.  There is a cleanTitleQuery in
/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/MythTV/MythVideoCommon.pm which
should have similar functionality but apparently it's not getting
filtered.  Where in jamu.py is the filename parsed before being sent out
to imdb and such?

This should be trivial and it's driving me nuts!
