Welcome aboard.

I looked at the linuxmce source code a while ago and it seemed to be based
on an older version of myth than 0.21-fixes. Therefore I doubt that any of
the current patches will apply cleanly. I could be wrong or way out of date
on that though. Perhaps you should be asking the linuxmce devs to add the
changes to their source tree.

Tell us what the card is and we can advise. But purevideo is NOT available
on linux and a card that can do purevideo on windows cannot necessarily do
vdpau on linux.

Same comment on the vdpau patches too, I doubt that they will apply cleanly
to linuxmce source, but you never know!
