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

[Jonathan Hoskin]

I've given it a good run overnight. All channels work beautifully (with
sound) on my standalone box which is a single core Sempron LE-1200 2.1Ghz &
8500GT. Even Mythcommflag can run in the background at the same time with no
worries as well.

Issues:

1) There were a couple of frontend crashes which I will try to reproduce and
get log info about.
2) The OSD is skewed/broken. I have tried a couple of different OSD flavours
with the same result. Photos here:

3) Yes there is heaps of spam in the frontend logs, but nothing logrotate
can't handle

Am I better off firing these straight to Jean-Yves?

Cheers,
Jonathan
