All CMT is doing is

MetadataSearchResults = phoenix_metadatascan_GetMetadataSearchResults(If(MediaFile!=null,MediaFile,Airing))

Certainly looks reasonable. I need to find some time to review what is happening (I'll install CMT as well)

Just to clarify a bit further since I had a bit of time to play with this today... In the BMT Web Interface, if I browse and drill down to a particular movie or TV episode, and do a metadata search to populate fanart, that works fine.

If I however select a view, and really any view that I have tried, and click on `Refresh Fanart`, the scan runs, but all items in the scan fail. A sample scan result screen capture, plus the phoenix log is attached.

I've had TMDB metadata search succeed and also fail numerous times. I use it from BMT. I wonder if the TMDB server gets bogged down and refuses the request. Try searching for Captain America: Civil War.

So, I just looked at this log file again... this is a lookup for "Upcomming Movies" where are not movies in your collection. So, yeah, these will all fail, since you can only do a lookup for fanart for media that is in your colleciton (recordings or movies).
