In a frontend select the recording in "Watch recordings" and press m
to get the menu. "Recording Options" -> "Change Recording Metadata"
and update the Inetref. If it is from tmdb then "tmdb3.py_" followed
by the number. If it is from ttvdb then start with "ttvdb.py_". Press
OK.
Next go back to the menu and now select "Job Options" -> "Begin
Metadata Lookup"
After a few minutes the metadata should be there.
