Did some quick testing and I do not think your errors have to do with
"%". Try on the command-line:
ttvdb.py -D "ichigo 100%" 1 1
ttvdb.py -F "ichigo 100%"
ttvdb.py -P "ichigo 100%"

All metadata is named like: 80759-1.jpg.

I have not tried opening those urls, but they might just be empty on
the ttvdb side.

(ttvdb.py is located somewhere like:
/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television)
