Looks like something got broke during the DB schema change. It works for
me on svn from about 3/4 weeks ago but doesn't work on current svn.
This commit is probably the culprit :-
http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/10893
It's not working with these fields Artist, Album, Compilation,
Compilation Artist, Genre and Date Imported.
It would be a good idea to open a ticket and get this fixed before the
release of 0.20.
