Comment(by anonymous):

 I found a solution for my errors, but I've never programmed in python
 before, so I'm not sure what the best solution would be. The important
 thing is that it works for me. It turned out that there were actually two
 separate issues.

 The first one was the warnings caused by a lack of a default for some of
 the fields in the videometadata table. I just used sql to alter the table
 to give every field a default and the warnings went away. I'm guessing the
 only reason I even encountered these warnings is because I'm working
 entirely from the command line and hadn't initialized the table by
 visiting the module with the frontend.

 The second was an error that caused the script to die any time it came
 across a mailto link on the movie posters site. I guess this is primarily
 an issue for TV shows, and possibly only shows who haven't released any
 DVD's yet. A simple if statement tested for a mailto and bypassed the
 invalid url request. I don't know what a valid patch file should look like
 so I apologize for the crude attempt below:

 mythvideo/scripts/fetch_poster.py around line 123:

 """
 Parses the given poster page and returns an URL pointing to the poster
 image.
 """
 +if poster_page_url[:6] == 'mailto':
 +    return None

 soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(urllib.urlopen(poster_page_url))
