In that case, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.  If, as 
mentioned in an earlier post, MythVideo actually calls tmdb.pl -D but 
passes no inetref, the only guess I can come up with as to why MythVideo 
is broken is the "M" in your revision number.

If you've applied some of the patches that Robert McNamara wrote for the 
metadata grabbing for TV series, etc., then removed them or updated or 
something, it might have gotten broken.

I can say that it's working for others using trunk (including 
Robert--who has used it with his current patches).

Also, just to be sure, check your MythVideo grabber command lines 
settings to make sure they look right (especially the data one--with -D).

Other than that, I'm out of ideas.  Good luck tracking it down.
