Mark Spieth's patch (which I really, really need to look over and apply) for better seeking in non-mpeg2 files goes a long way towards this, actually. The issue with using xinelib is that they've got a different version libavcodec than what myth uses internally, and the symbols clash somethin fierce. Tends to make things break. =) Isaac _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
