I don't know how from MythWeb, but from mythfrontend select the video, 
press i - Change Video Details - Edit Details and put the tmdb3.py number 
in the inetref field as 'tmdb3.py_01234' with the number being the tmdb 
movie id number. Then i - Change Video Details - Retrieve Details to pull 
the metadata.
