I just now went back to the frontend and tried to select the new 
metadata sources again.  The new Movie and new Television choices now 
show up (yeah).  I selected the new tmdb V3 sources for both Movies and 
Television (tvmaze still does not pass it's tests due to some kind of 
TLS certificate issue).  I will restart the frontend and backend.
How do I test that this works from within MythTV?
