I had some luck with mythmetadatalookup --refresh-all on one show, but not
the other.  On that show I had to use mythfrontend and select the show in
the library list and go to Scheduling options and change recording
metadata. It didn't have the data I had edited with the Web App.  I had to
change it to ttvdb4 with the correct id and that instantly changed the
large photo image of the show to the correct one.

I guess I should always set up new recordings with the specific ID I want
to get the right metadata.
