Did you follow this?
The title "Once upon a time", or "Es war einmal" (in german) has multiple
entries,
so you need to be very careful on the video file names itself.
I started using myth around 0.26 maybe 0.25. The oldest files that don't

If you do in the mythtv-frontend a
I -> Change Video Details -> Retrieve Video Details
on a video in question,you get a lot of log entries in the frontend logs,
if "general, info" is enabled for logging.
You can run the listed grabber commands shown in the log for tmdb3 and
ttvdb.py
in a terminal and examine the xml output for correctness. Please escape the
title
and subtitle or put them simply under quotation marks.

Please review every value there.
Does the inetref value start with "tmdb3_" or "ttvdb_" ?
Is the number correct?
This window let you change the screenshot file as well.
Just move to the checkbox of that file, click on it or press select (space
or enter)
then choose a different one in the popped up window.
Finally, please consider the fact, that the screenshot files are no longer
available at
the tmdb web site. The screenshot, banner and other files should be listed
in the xml
file you get when running the grabber manually.
