On my system I have /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie/tmdb.py and
/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py which I think is code
to do lookups in themoviedb.org and thetvdb.com.

However there surely must be some logic above this which determines
whether a movie or a tv lookup should be made. you may need to go into
the mythvideo c++ code to find where and how these are called.

Perhaps it would be easier to just use the mythtv naming conventions?
