http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10383 [2], entering the "Metadata
Options" screen of a recording rule should trigger a query and prompt
the user to select the appropriate tvdb result for that rule... at least
on some themes. Is there a setting somewhere that enables this? I know I
can manually enter the tvdb reference number... but it would be nice to
not need to have my laptop handy if/when I do this in the future.

Hi, 

could you
explain what problems you had with the blue-abstract theme regarding
metadata and other stuff? 

I can fix the issues for the next release.
