I definitely do not want the metadata lookup and as far as I can tell
it is disabled.

I checked the settings under Videos and found:
      Video Metadata settings
[unchecked] Perform metadata update after...
[unchecked] Enable Random Trailer Pl...
[unchecked] Display unknown file types
[unchecked] Enable metadata in file b...

I looked in the database table "settings" and all entries referencing
"meta" is set to 0

VideoTreeLoadMetaData
mythvideo.AutoMetaDataScan
JobAllowMetadata
mythvideo.AutoMetaDataScan
VideoTreeLoadMetaData
mythvideo.AutoMetaDataScan
VideoTreeLoadMetaData
mythvideo.AutoMetaDataScan
VideoTreeLoadMetaData


The odd thing is, not all subdirectories in Videos have the
same behavior.
I can have a directory entry like
  season-1/01-episode.mp4 
  season-1/02-episode.mp4 
  season-1/03-episode.mp4 

then

  season-2/01-episode.mp4 
  season-2/02-episode.mp4 
  season-2/03-episode.mp4 

and season-1 will display exactly as written and season-2 will show as
like a concatenation of the directory name and the filename.
