Thanks for your reply.
tried to build manually and drilled into cpluff directory and tried local build still failed.
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../kazlib/list.c', needed by `list.lo'. Stop.
I looked into the folder ~/src/xbmc/lib/cpluff/kazlib and it only has 3 files, two headers hash.h and list.h but only one code file hash.c. Seems the source code is incomplete on my system??
Is this a problem with the git source??
Where can I find a complete source file set??
cheers
Rick

I have to admit, I went this route with some trepidation. I've heard MythTV is difficult to configure, and when I saw I'd have to compile this to work on Ubuntu I was a bit concerned, but I gave it a try, and I have one word to say: WOW!
Here's a little background on what I have:
Media server, back-end for myth, and XBMC for HT setup
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 810
16GB
nVidia GT 430 with HDMI output to receiver
RAID array for media storage
HDHomeRun Prime - 3 tuners with cablecard from FiOS
Secondary system
Zotac HD-ID11
Atom/Ion system
2GB
I installed Myth on the server yesterday, it took a while, but I got it recording from all three tuners. This evening I setup XBMC on the secondary system with this plugin. After fixing the mythtv password in mysql, I got the add-on running and I can now play live TV as well as recordings.
I am encountering an issue with setting timers. As soon as I set it, an error message shows up that it was aborted. I will continue to investigate this.
For my purposes the important thing was getting live TV up and running. I plan to install a TV downstairs where there is no convenient coax connection, and I don't wish to run one, but I was able to get ethernet to that area. Now I can put this Zotac box there and have live TV. I'm grateful for all the hard work people have put into this. XBMC is maturing nicely, and is performing well for me.
*update* While I receive an error in XBMC that the recording was aborted, it appears that according to the MythTV the items are scheduled, I set up some random recordings, I'll see what happens.

OK, well it turns out it's not properly setting up the recordings for me. As I noted above when I set it to record, it shows that it aborted. However when I enter mythfrontend I can see the program in the schedule. But when I select programs set up to be recorded from XBMC I see the following error "This showing will not be recorded because this rule does not match any showings in the current program listings."
One thing I've found is that when I scheduled different episodes of the same show, one from XBMC, one from mythfrontend, the format of the title of the show was different between the two. One was formatted title: subtitle, the other title- subtitle. Also, when I selected the one that wouldn't record and tried to look at upcoming shows, there were none, the other returned many results.
Seems like there's a setting wrong somewhere for what is being sent to the backend when requesting a recording. Is there a setting somewhere for this?

KeithLM: I think I can fix it if you can dump the content of the mythconverg-record table from the MySQL database when you have scheduled the recording from both xbmc and mythfrontend.

OK, thanks. I've commented out the two pieces of code that add in the ": subtitle" and have rebuilt it. I will try in a few hours and see what happens.
I'll look into phpMyAdmin. I've been looking for some way to snoop around in mysql ever since I moved my XBMC data into there.

Navicat is also a very good option to use. Better GUI and easier doing more stuff.

I tried working with the code some and have gotten myself into a weird state. In order to determine which function affected the data sent to MythTV, I altered the strings for plot to identify which function set them. After testing that and determining which function was which, I went and changed them back, but XBMC keeps showing me my test strings. I've recompiled multiple times, and can't get them to switch back. Is there some buffer that epg data is stored in?
Nevermind, found it. I located Epg7.db and have deleted it.
