[mythtv-users] Using JAMU to update movie metadata

I feel like I may have missed something obvious, but it seems to me that 
when updating movie metadata, JAMU uses the filename as the movie title 
rather than the actual received metadata from whatever source it is 
interrogating (i.e. themoviedb.org). I searched for a switch or config 
option to change this, but I never found one. Instead, I patched jamu.py 
locally to store the correct title (if there is any interest, I will 
post the patch, but I am not a Python developer and I didn't spend much 
time looking over the design of JAMU, so I'm sure the author could make 
a much more appropriate change than what I did if people want this).

If the current functionality is done for a reason, does anyone know what 
that is? My problem is that if I have a movie file, such as 
"TITLE_OF_A_MOVIE,_THE.ext" it will appear in MythVideo as "TITLE OF A 
MOVIE, THE" rather than "The Title of a Movie" from the metadata.
Thanks.

P.S. I'm running trunk 21818 from the Mythbuntu trunk builds (JAMU v0.4.9).
