<p>There is a call Dvr/AddRecordedCredits which will add names of
actors, directors, etc.</p>
<p>There is an api Dvr/AddRecordedProgram which adds a recording
including all the metadata. This will fail if you try it with an
existing recording. I am not sure how this would be used. It seems
that it would need you to put a file in the recording storage
group and then call the api to add it to the database.</p>
<p>What metadata are you trying to update? Is the existing metadata
job in MythTV not working for you? You should be able to just
invoke the metadata lookup job to fill in metadata. If that fails
to find the correct show you can first fill in the initref
correctly, then metadata lookup should work. If the initref is not
filled in correctly, you can enter it on the recording rule for
future recordings.</p>
<p>Note that in the latest MythTV version there are multiple
metadata lookup methods for TV shows (themoviedb, thetvdb,
tvmaze). Also the TVDB lookup API is changing soon, and old
versions of MythTV will not support the new API.<br>
