I have a fix. I installed an updated xbmc with libcmyth from  David Teirney's 
repository. Then, I updated mythbox's protocol.py file with the new protocol 
versions. I've attached the new file. I'd do a diff, but I'm lazy :).

# Ubuntu instructions
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
git clone https://github.com/dteirney/xbmc.git
cd xbmc
git checkout myth-0.25
./bootstrap
./configure
make -j2               # the 2 indicates dual-core
sudo make install

# This xbmc install is located at /usr/local/bin/xbmc
# It is not set up in the menus, or the package manager, 
# so you'll have to manually add shortcuts and links
# 
# Start xbmc
# Download mythbox
# Exit xbmc

# assuming the new protocol.py is in your home folder
cd ~/.xbmc/addons/script.mythbox/resources/src/mythbox/mythtv/
mv protocol.py protocol.py.old
cp ~/protocol.py .

# Enjoy!

thanks for this, but I don't want to have to recompile as I am using openelec :(

With the updated protocol.py can you watch Live TV and your recordings?

I switched to the mythbox version from here:
https://github.com/mitchcapper/mythbox (found here: 
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=43115&page=75)
It works with mythtv 0.25

If its correct it would be great to see it merged into the official add-on

The patch should go into the main xbmc branch soon, so you can just download a 
nightly build.

Yes, I can watch live TV and recordings. 

The only correction I would make to the script I added is to line up the 
protocol with the mythtv version. Currently, it starts 0.25 with protocol 
version 70, which I think it should be something like 66 instead.

When I try the Mythbox fork suggested above my Recording and Live TV never 
play, the progress wheel pops up then a second later it goes away and nothing 
happens.

Will this fix the invalid protocol error?

To get mythtv 0.25 to work you must update both XBMC (specifcally libcmyth) and 
mythbox.  The xbmc update is in the master branch, so here's an updated guide.

# Warning: The git version of XBMC can be unstable.
# Follow this guide to install the updated XBMC
# http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Compile_XBMC_for_Linux

# Next, checkout the mitchcapper branch of mythbox
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/mitchcapper/mythbox.git

mv -f ~/.xbmc/addons/script.mythbox ~  # or just rm -rf
ln -s ~/mythbox ~/.xbmc/addons/script.mythbox

For those of you who are running Ubuntu 12.04, I have applied the necessary 
0.25 to the XBMC version bundled with Ubuntu in this PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~mj-casalogic/+archive/xbmc-mythbox

You still need the mitchcapper branch of MythBox to get it to work though...

So when is this going to be in the official mythbox and xbmc releases?
