hmmm...I did.. ;)

fair enough, was wondering about that too.

So what went wrong is that, although metadata was available in TMDB, it 
did not get inserted, and the videos were marked as processed. Using the 
w key to requery is a good workaround.
After your reply I checked my frontend logs for earlier messages 
regarding lookups returning no valid data, but only found this for the 
scan using "w":

2010-11-22 11:25:49.787 Running Grabber: 
/usr/local/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie/tmdb.py -l en -M The Fast And The 
Furious
2010-11-22 11:25:50.808 MythUIHelper, Error: 
LoadScaleImage(myth://Coverart@192.168.1.242:6543/No Cover) failed to 
load image
2010-11-22 11:25:52.666 No adequate match or multiple matches found for 
The Fast And The Furious. *Update manually*.

The frontend then offered me a list of options.

It looks like as if, when multiple movie descriptions are offered by 
TMDB, the "update details command" did not update the metadata with the 
most likely movie, but inserts nothing and marks the entry as processed.

Inserting the most likely movie metadata is also not a good option, 
because once the movie id is known, the following "w" commands only 
query TMDB using the (assumed) id, and not using the title string again.

The second movie, initially had an incorrect title (taken from the DVD). 
However, after renaming that to the right title still nothing was found. 
Don't know what happened here.

I'm not logging SQL in the backend, nor logging MySQL it self, so can't 
really verify my assumption is correct..

thanks very much.
