Thanks for that. You were right. My qmake was also in the bin directory and the mythplugin command flag should be --enable-mythvideo. Glad it worked out for you.

The biggest time waster was trying to edit the menu item in multimedia > mythfrontend so it would issue the correct command to fire up mythtv

For whatever reason I wasn't able to edit the xfce menu from settings manager. I got it working by following these obscure directions:

Oliver,

Thanks for your help in getting this working. I had already found out
the hard way about the line breaks working on a previous issue, so
that didn't slow me down at all.:) I did find two minor issues in your
writeup which otherwise worked perfectly.

/opt/qtsdk-2010.05/qt/bin/qmake was where I found my qmake; I have no
idea how mine ended up there. It probably was something I did along
the way but I have not been able to figure out what it was.

./configure --disable-all --enable-mythvideo is the plugin command
that worked for me; yours had mythvideos.

But the whole thing worked, and has really saved the day for me. My
backend drive borked and that was a good opportunity to upgrade to .
24, and now my atv frontend is working again and everybody is happy. I
agree with your performance assessment too. Thanks very much for the
excellent writeup!

Richard
