Actually, there is a warning when I run ttvdb.py: I see

  "InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. 
Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: 
https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/security.html"

I still get what looks like correct metadata. I also notice that the 
banner urls returned within the xml, although http, redirect to https. 
I'm not sure how that would lead to Mythfrontend failing to download 
them, but I guess it could be connected.

Cheers,
