There's no job running to kill, and I can't Stop it from the frontend.

And my Internet is fine, or we wouldn't be talking. :)

I have had a few of these over time

Jan 18 18:00:19 tv python: detected unhandled Python exception in '/usr/share/myt
htv/metadata/Movie/tmdb3.py'
Jan 18 18:00:20 tv python: can't communicate with ABRT daemon, is it running? [Er
rno 2] No such file or directory

htv/metadata/Movie/tmdb3.py'
Jan 18 18:00:21 tv python: can't communicate with ABRT daemon, is it running? [Er
rno 2] No such file or directory

and the metadata grabber seems to run whether I want it to or not so it may be time to disable it completely. My stuck queue seems to be another reason to.
