Mythtv 0.25 on Debian Wheezy/Sid from debian-multimedia.org sources.

I upgraded from 0.23 to 0.24 about a month ago and from 0.24 to 0.25
when 0.25 was released shortly after. I don't think metadata worked on
0.24 either. Movie look-ups work fine, TV look-ups fail. I think it's
probably a configuration problem on my end, possibly dependency on
debian-multimedia end. Would appreciate any input. Error doesn't give
much of a hint, to me at least. Thanks,
