Sorry guys, I was incoherent.  I "normally" run trunk, but on this 
particular system I went with mythbuntu as I wanted it to be 
set-and-forget.

I figured my issue out; for some reason the mythvideo plugin was not 
installed although the docs say it should be there by default.  And I 
kept wanting to add a dash in there - myth-video - so it wasn't coming 
up in the repository.

As usual, problem was between chair and keyboard.
