Just as a matter of interest, has anyone on the list managed to get the
master XvMC support working on MythTV?

I have a GM965 based system where mplayer works ok with the new XvMC
support, but mythfrontend crashes whenever I try to playback using XvMC.


I am running the intel driver version 2.5.1 and XvMC works well in 
mplayer and mythtv. Mythtv does not seem to want to always switch 
resolutions cleanly however, and I have gotten a few segfaults when 
switching from Standard Definition with xvmc to something larger. And 
I'm not sure, offhand that the problem is not because I am switching to 
digital from analog.

BuXvMC works for 720x480 and will even attempt to play larger frames but 
the picture turns out as a blocky green and black monochrome. So the 
answer to 'are we there yet' is that the guys have got us quite close!

Keep it up please.

Geoff
