I got the plugin load correctly now with another patch that is 
attached. After
setting the PIN in mythtv-setup it also connects fine to the backend 
now but
I cannot import any channels into xbmc so I cannot even test watching 
TV.

It feels a lot like the code is unfinished or unmaintained and not 
expected
to work with mythtv 0.24. The future also doesn't look good because I 
found
in the MythTV wiki (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:MythXML):

The MythXML interface has been rewritten for upcoming 0.25, and these 
methods
will no longer be valid.

So the xbmc pvr plugin for mythtv is kind of useless.
