Thanks Helen, it does look to be connected with that: when running ttvdb
from the command line, I get errors to do with needing v2.0 of tvdb_api
and requests_cache being missing. I'm struggling to fix it though:-

paul at glidos:~> /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -l em -a 
GB -M "The Walking Dead"

The modules tvdb_api.py (v2.0 or greater).
They should have been installed along with the MythTV python bindings.
Error:(No module named requests_cache)

$ sudo pip install --upgrade tvdb-api

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,
