This is output from old python bindings.  Current bindings and
metadata scripts output XML, and MythVideo will detect no results
without properly installed bindings.  As I mentioned earlier in this
thread, this appears to be a pervasive issue with Ubuntu and
Ubuntu-derived packages.  I believe this issue is caused by having
both an old and a current copy of the bindings installed on the
system, the older being picked up first.
