Paul / Coises - thanks for the replies.
I did try to find examples of movie.xml and/or mymovies.xml. Not a lot of details. But I thought I'd wing it and see if I could make it work (it didn't).
- I created a movie.xml file and stored it in the top level folder of my home movies.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<movies>
<movie>

- I deleted the two home movies from Mezzmo DB
- I ran Maintain Playlist on my video files with (i) all Metadata Retrieval Settings unchecked except for "Get text metadata and artwork from movie.xml and mymovies.xml", and (ii) Only update new files or files with empty attributes
Maintain Playlist added the files back into the library but without metadata.
