To Continue:

I did notice that while before in my 0.27 - I could trigger a complete
scan/update by just doing a "Scan" - now - it does nothing unless it's a
new video. What I mean is - I do "Scan" and it almost ignores it anything
that's not new (it seems) - so all my movies that it failed to get any
metadata - it will ignore. I do "Retrieve all" and nothing happens. I do
"mythutils --scanvideos" from command line - I dont see anything updating.
However, it DOES WORK. Because I can go to each, press a W, and it will
come up.

Another thing is - if I do get it to scan all by some chance - it will ask
me *for every single movie*!!! So now I am sitting saying yes/no for ALL my
movies. I remember it used to be barely a few movies that were undecided.

Any help would be much appreciated.
