once the individual recording populates its recording metadata field
with the inet number, the mythmetadatalookup --refresh won't change it
even if the recording rule metadata inet ref has changed. as far as i
have always found. usually i see it and its a single show so far, so i
remove the incorrect inet in the show metadata and either replace it or
make it empty and do the mythmetadatalookup.
