[ATrpms-users] MythTV tmdb.py and ttvdb.py on Centos 5

[Alex Timm]

I just recently had this problem.  I found this when searching for a fix:
http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/html/mythtv-users@mythtv.org/2009-09/msg01475.html.

Using this I was able to get tmdb and ttvdb to work.  The steps I took was:

1. Modify usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/Movie/tmdb.py line 217 to read 
       class moviedbQueries: 
2. Change usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MythTV/MythBase.py and MythData.py
       "import xml.etree.cElementTree as etree" to "import cElementTree as etree"
3. Change usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MythTV/tmdb/tmdb_api.py and ttvdb/tvdb_api.py
       "import xml.etree.cElementTree as etree" to "import cElementTree as ElementTree"
       "import xml.etree.ElementTree as etree" to "import ElementTree as ElementTree"
4. Modifiy usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MythTV/ttvdb/cache.py
       Comment out "from _future_ import with_statement"
5. Install python-hashlib

After these modifications I was able to get metadata into MythTV.
I hope this will help other users with the same problem.

The latter is in python-elementtree, just yum it in.

I'm not sure what the empty parentheses for moviedbQueries
mean. Perhaps they can just be removed.
