I am getting too clever.    This fixes an error in my install 
instructions for Josh's fix file in step number 1

Very roughly, these are steps I followed to install and test Josh's fix 
file on my Mythbuntu 18722 8.10 installation: (Revised step 1)
1.  exit the mythtv  frontend if it is running. 
2.   sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop
3.   mkdir ~/Desktop/temp
4.   Detach and save Josh's  attached .gz into temp
5.   Use  Archive manager to extract Josh's .gz file  
libmythavformat.xxxx into temp.
6.  Make a copy of the exisiting file so you can return to the original 
if necessary for testing or if the fix file causes your mythtv 
installation to balk.
sudo cp /usr/lib/libmythaformat-0.21.so.0.21.0  
/usr/lib/libmythaformat-0.21.so.0.21.0.original
7.   Copy Josh's file over writing the original (which you just made a 
copy of in step 6)
sudo cp ~/Desktop/temp/libmythavformat-0.21.so.0.21.0 
/usr/lib/libmythaformat-0.21.so.0.21.0
    If  prompted to overwrite indicate yes.

7.5 sudo chmod +r /usr/lib/libmythaformat-0.21.so.0.21.0
7.6 sudo chown root /usr/lib/libmythaformat-0.21.so.0.21.0
8.  sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start
9.   then start mythfrontend via the system menu as you would normally
10. Post a summary of test here.  (Thanks)

Larry
