A few questions:
Do you use the frontend running osx or opensuse to grab metadata?

Did you configure the frontend build for python2 or python3?

What does the following command return on the frontend:
{{{
head -n1 /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py
}}}
Substitute the path to your needs.

Is the following code snippet taken from
"mythtv/programs/mythmetadatalookup/main.cpp:71"
compiled in?
{{{
#ifdef Q_OS_MAC
    QString path = QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath();
    setenv("PYTHONPATH",
           QString("%1/../Resources/lib/python2.6/site-packages:%2")
           .arg(path)

 .arg(QProcessEnvironment::systemEnvironment().value("PYTHONPATH"))
           .toUtf8().constData(), 1);
#endif
}}}

You may find similar occurrences in
"mythtv/programs/mythfrontend/main.cpp:1872"
and
"mythtv/programs/mythbackend/main.cpp:99"






          QString("%1/../Resources/lib/python2.6/site-packages:%2")
