Thanks Ian,

I tried that way with SVN; checked out the revision number which is used 
by the Ubuntu packages, applied my patch, compiled and swapped the 
libmyth**.so file from Ubuntu with the newly compiled one; at a first 
glance, everything worked really nice, but  mythtv had many crashes 
during navigation in the recordings menu. Thus, I think I missed some 
patches or changes in the source codem, which are applied to the sources 
which Ubuntu uses. Has anybody a hint how to get things working?

Best,

Andreas
