[mythtvnz] State of h264 decoding

[Nick Rout]

Actually your post asked two questions, one of which was:

"Anyone know the current state of h264 decoding for mythtv, I still
have intermittent  crashes especially on TV3 running 1080i.
My CPU has more than enough grunt, just looks like the decoding lib
has issues .."

I answered that question.
