I don't know OpenElec, but a little bit of googling shows that it's an XBMC
interface.  I would suspect that it expects a full MythTV backend to talk
to.  You'll need to do a MythTV install (along with the appropriate
prerequisites, i.e. MySQL) to get it working.

I don't know what packaging system OpenElec uses, but here are the general
MythTV installation instructions:
