I'd like to resurrect this thread from a few days ago because I still
believe there's a bug here somewhere and I'd like to nail it down.

As a test this morning, I moved all of my videos to another location and
did a scan.  That effectively cleaned everything out of the database.  Then
I moved in a single series that MythVideo has never shown metadata for
since I upgraded to 0.25.  I did another scan and watched the
/var/log/mythfrontend.log file.  It seemed to do what I expected.  It
scanned and found the series and then started trying to grab the metadata.
However, here's a little bit of what it logged:

Aug 17 10:18:31 lenny mythfrontend[26437]: I MetadataDownload
metadatadownload.cpp:222 (runGrabber) Running Grabber:
/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -l en -M monk
Aug 17 10:18:31 lenny mythfrontend[26437]: I CoreContext videodlg.cpp:3263
(customEvent) No results found for monk 7 6
Aug 17 10:18:32 lenny mythfrontend[26437]: E MetadataDownload
metadatadownload.cpp:190 (findBestMatch) No adequate match or multiple
matches found for monk.  Update manually.
Aug 17 10:18:32 lenny mythfrontend[26437]: I MetadataDownload
metadatadownload.cpp:222 (runGrabber) Running Grabber:
/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -l en -M monk
Aug 17 10:18:32 lenny mythfrontend[26437]: I CoreContext videodlg.cpp:3263
(customEvent) No results found for monk 7 5

I have the following in my ~/.mythtv/ttvdb.conf file:

[series_name_override]
Monk:78490
monk:78490

I put both in there because I wasn't sure of the case sensitivity.
Obviously, ttvdb.py didn't use this file as it should have. The file is
located in the home account of the user running the frontend.  Do we have a
bug here?
