 The metadata lookup in mythvideo seems to have a 30 second timeout. When
 trying to lookup metadata for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" the
 timeout kills the process before it is finished fetching the data.

 I don't have a slow connection, nor have I hammered the server.The
 metadata lookup has been tried at 5 to 10 different instances in the span
 of  2 weeks. All requests timeout for this tv show only. I might have been
 extremely unlucky with the timing of all my request tries, but I doubt it.
 Here's a frontend log of one of the tests:

 2011-05-28 17:48:11.375 Using protocol version 63
 2011-05-28 17:48:17.627 Running Grabber:
 /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -l en -M The Daily Show
 with Jon Stewart
 2011-05-28 17:48:18.511 Running Grabber:
 /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -l en -D 71256 16 46
 QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running.
 2011-05-28 17:48:48.558 No results found for The Daily Show with Jon
 Stewart 16 46

 After asking about this in the users mailing list Raymond Wagner answered
 with the following:

 "My guess is that it's trying to pull the entire series and process it all
 at once, before returning the desired episode. Most shows only have a few
 dozen or maybe a hundred or two episodes allowing fairly quick processing.
 The Daily Show on the other hand is running into the thousands of
 episodes. I'll take a closer look at this later and see if it can be
 improved."

 Seems Raymond is busy or forgot, so I am just filing a bug for this issue.
