Asking is easier than unraveling the code.
OSX frontend that does not work logs this

 I  Running Grabber:  -l en -a AU -C 295370

The linux front end that does work logs this

I  Running Grabber:  /usr/local/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie/tmdb3.py -l en -a AU -C 295370

So it seems the osx frontend does not find the graber.

I have patched all defines of Q_OS_MAC.* to Q_OS_MACOS
I can't find if qt 5.14 removed those macros yet.
I also cannot find how/where the grabberpath is discovered.
I don't think the OSX frontend is finding the grabbers.

Any one can help ?
