[mythtvnz] Fwd: mythtv with vdpau and LATM/AAC support

[Nick Rout]

I would like people to take Jean-Yves up on his offer of a testing
version of 0.21-fixes with his unofficial backport of vdpau and
he-aac/latm patches. See below.

A fellow list member provided a TV2 clip  which Jean-Yves says plays
with 3% CPU and sound working. However he comments "lots of output
from ffmpeg however. would fill the log very quickly".

Can we have more testers please? I don't have access to HD at present
(new aerial donation anyone?) nor a vdpau card. However I'll probably
invest soon, once you bunnies have tested it out :)

Nick.

Hi

I have worked on porting the LATM/AAC support from the packages you've
pointed to me to my own build.
It wasn't exactly trivial because the 0.21-fixes code he's using,
isn't really fixes.. It contains a lot of differences and in
particular a different ffmpeg version.

Now I can't test if my mods are correct. So I've set a testing ubuntu
package. It also includes some new changes in VDPAU but those required
180.25, so you must upgrades to those drivers ..

To download the package, use my testing repository:

add to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos release/
deb http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos testing/

Let me know how it goes... if it works fine I will use those patches
from now on.

Cheers
Jean-Yves
