Can somebody who has gotten mythtv and a video player such as mplayer or xine working well on an epia write up a how-to guide?
There are dozens right now on the net and they're all out of date to various degrees. The xorg, xine, and mythtv CVS are changing as the drm software changes and there's no documentation of what version works with who. xine seems to be written for drm 2.0; as up november or so it's cvs version locks up tight when run with drm 1.3, the version packaged in the latest'n'greatest epia kernel packages.
If somebody who is using an epia with hardware mpeg-2 decoding could write up a quick how-to, or at least a list of what to install, it would be of great value to people still struggling to get an epia frontend working. The new mythtv 0.17 release needs to document what epia drivers versions work with it.
What Linux distribution are you using?
For my EPIA boxes, I build a Linux distribution from scratch using GAR. If you are interested, you can find it at linpvr.org <http://linpvr.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=290>.
Right now, I am using the following versions:
drm 2005.01.30 (from CVS) myth 2005.01.25 (from CVS) mplayer 1.0.0pre6a + unichrome-mplayer-plugin 0.5 x.org 6.8.1 + unichrom-xfree86 r30 + libViaXvMC 0.13.3 (from CVS)
