Mike clod of earth on my brain:

This (cli) works

/usr/local/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie/tmdb3.py -l en -a AU -M 'Coming To America’

this does not

/usr/local/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie/tmdb3.py -l en -a AU -M 'Coming To America (1988)’

So as before where does the date come from?
I have deleted all meta data
