​Just to keep an answer with the issue - I went back and looked through all
posts and open tickets for 0.29, andf the only thing I could find that
might apply were permissions issues in the .cache folder mythtv uses.

I did not have permissions issues, but I went ahead and deleted the
following folders (and file):

mythfilldatabase-backend-0
pytmdb3.cache (the file)
tvdb_api

After this, it started working again!

Anyone know how to force mythmetadatalookup to run when supplied a date to
start @ in the recorded table - I am sure I can figure it out, but if
someone already knows, it will save some time :)
