So I manually changed the grabber for this one show (The Equalizer) from 
tvmaze to tmdb3tv.  I know the metadata fetch ran, because now there is 
a background artwork, but it is still the wrong series.  From the log:

Mar  1 16:38:25 mythbox mythmetadatalookup: mythmetadatalookup[13288]: I 
MetadataDownload metadatagrabber.cpp:453 (RunGrabber) Running Grabber: 
/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/tmdb3tv.py -l en -a US -N 95205 It 
Takes a Village
Mar  1 16:38:25 mythbox mythmetadatalookup: mythmetadatalookup[13288]: I 
MetadataDownload metadatacommon.cpp:1202 (ParseMetadataItem) Result 
Found, Season 1 Episode 4
Mar  1 16:38:25 mythbox mythmetadatalookup: mythmetadatalookup[13288]: I 
MetadataDownload metadatadownload.cpp:176 (run) Returning Metadata 
Results: The Equalizer 1 4

Something strange is happening.  How is it that both tvmaze and tmdb3tv 
pull the wrong artwork for the correct inetref number?  Is there any 
chance that there is some stale/cached artwork overriding this somewhere?

Jay
