Yes, I've heard som nice things about XBMC lately so maybe I'll check it out. My second look at Myth didn't impress me more than it did five years ago. I think I'll stick to VDR awhile longer mostly since I know it in and out, and that I think highly of Klaus. Installing Myth was the same as it was last time and I couldn't even get it to lock with my multiproto drivers. I had hoped that Myth had more documentation by now and that it would be a lot easier to install, but I guess I was wrong. I couldn't find anything that matches Reinhard's Howto's for instance. It seems most Myth users install distro packages, but I prefer compiling "bleeding edge" myself. And that's what it takes to get VDPAU running. I don't have time for this right now so I'll just wait for Christmas and hope that by then I can have VDR with native .ts, h.264 and S2API (although I fully understand that Klaus has issues with it!) and xine with VDPAU. And maybe XBMC together with some trick lirc-controlled scripts to switch between that and VDR. If not, maybe I'll have another go at Myth. But I hope I won't have to... /Magnus H _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
