Don't know how comfortable you are with compiling your own source but
because mythzmserver can be complied standalone without needing MythTV
or QT to be installed you could easily compile a newer version that has
support for ZM 1.32.3 and just replace your existing mythzmserver with
the newly complied one.
You would grab one of the releases from
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/releases and unzip the source.
You would then change into the mythzmserver directory and do the 'make
-f Makefile.standalone' and then copy the mythzmserver executable over
your existing one. No need to compile the rest of MythTV it's not needed.
