[mythtv-users] How to force redownload of fan art?

I solved my problem by manually editing the database to blank out the
existing art filenames from within MySQL:

	 update recordedartwork set coverart="";

	 update recordedartwork set fanart="";

	 update recordedartwork set banner="";

Doing this permits 'mythmetadatalookup --refresh-all-artwork' to
redownload all art.

If there is a way to do this without manually editing the database,
please let me know; perhaps mythmetadatalookup could use a --force
flag?
