I tried it and haven't gotten it going quite yet. I am running .25-fixes
from mythbuntu.  I do have updates that need to be installed if that could
be an issue.  Other than that mythtv is functioning fine. I tried to set
the naming convention for generic videos (on the master backend) and got an
error. See based terminal input/output below:

$ /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythvidexport.py
--gformat=Generic_Videos/%TITLE%
Changing Generic format to: Generic_Videos/%TITLE%
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythvidexport.py",
line 431, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythvidexport.py",
line 424, in main
    db.settings[hosts]['mythvideo.GENERICexportfmt'] = opts.gformat
NameError: global name 'hosts' is not defined

Can anyone help? Do I need to pull/post a log and where would I find such?
