As I said before, why is this patch necessary? Are you running on Windows perhaps?

There is already code in mythweb/modules/video/handler.php to make a symlink to the 
VideoArtworkDir.


re;

      82 // Create the symlink, if possible.
      83     else {
      84         $dir = setting('VideoArtworkDir', hostname);
      85         if ($dir) {
      86         // You can't symlink on windows
      87             if (strtoupper(substr(php_uname('s'), 0, 3)) != 'WIN') {
      88                 $ret = @symlink($dir, 'data/video_covers');
      89                 if (!$ret) {
      90                     custom_error("Could not create a symlink to $dir, the 
local MythVideo artwork"

      93                                 .' use the video artwork portions of MythWeb.');
      94                 }
      95             }
      96         }
