I'd steer clear of the one with no AGP slot. It has Intel integrated graphics and it's a pain getting it to work with Myth (at least with HD). The other one looks great.Tom

Install libXvMCW, compile Myth with support for it, point your XvMCConfig fileat the XvMC lib for the 810 and you should be able to enable XvMC support
within Myth and it should work. libXvMCW is a wrapper that supports nVidia,Intel and Unichrome (possibly others?).-- Harry O._

I get this error all the time. I think it has to do with the nvidia
drivers. I haven't figured out a solution yet. It happens to me with
both xv and xvmc. It only happens to me in xvmc when the source is

I think the best method of getting the Mac Mini to play HD streams

the Radeon 9200 has the capable hardware. You just have to bug ATI to

too).

Apparently the ebuild looks for the mythfrontend stuff in
mythfrontend-0.17 instead of mythtv-0.17. If you untar the
mythtv-0.17.bz2 file, move everything to mythfrontend-0.17, then tar
it back up again, it should work.
