Thank you - that's the patch. The description says nothing about checking to 
see if metadata updates are enabled, and this may have been overlooked.

The patch is Closed. What's the protocol to request a patch for this patch? Or 
will it even be accepted since MythWeb is deprecated?

In the interim I have commented line 193 of /usr/share/mythweb/modules/tv/
tmpl/default/detail.php to ignore metadata lookup. Next I'll look at how to 
determine whether metadata lookups are desired, in order to make a proper 
patch to submit.
