You can apply the patch to fixes/29. If you are running fixes/29 I do 
not recommend connecting a master FE to it, rather apply the patch to 
fixes/29.

If you have pulled the source from github, then before running configure 
run
git apply /path/filename.patch
from the source directory

The other way to do it if the git apply has problems, is
cd to the base source directory, e.g. mythproject/mythtv (not 
mythproject/mythtv/mythtv from which you run the configure and make)
then
patch -p1 /path/filename.patch

run git status to check - you should see a few file changes listed
to cancel the patch and get back to the main git source version - git 
checkout .

I hope you can confirm the patch fixes the problem - I am not going to 
commit the patch unless somebody confirms that.
