Cool!!! My mythtv is a compiled one already so I just need to edit and
recompile. I had some crazy problems when I tried switching to the rpm
version about version1 backend version4 conflict blah blah... But yeah let
me recompile this and how can we get this fix sent to the myth dev team to
put in the next release of mythtv? Thanks again you're the man!
