I used to compile mythtv from svn (but I was still on the 0.20 version)
but a couple of days ago decided to go for the ubuntu packages (0.21)
Since then the xvmc (nvidia) doesn't work anymore for me. So my guess is that
the MPEG2VIDEO_XVMC codec isn't compiled into the mythtv package.
Since it worked for me before this upgrade, and I followed the steps in the
XvMC mythtv wiki, I don't think this is a configuration issue. But should the
xvmc be in the package, or should I build from svn?
The wiki states the following:
=============
The following binary linux distributions support XvMC out of the box:
* Mandrivia 2006 Free
* Debian
=============
So I guess that this answers my question... Ubuntu doesn't support xvmc?
This is the logging from mythfrontend just before the crash:
