I had a problem grabbing metadata for videos (videos != recordings, but the 
grabber is AFAIK the same for both) at first.  I think the settings 0.25 uses 
for metadata grabbing had never been set on my system.

Go to "Setup," then go to "Artwork and Data Sources."  After grabbing a list 
of sources, "Movie Metadata Source" and "Television Metadata Source" should be 
filled in.  Select "OK."  Metadata grabbing should now work.
