Your work on building and releasing an updated version of mythtv is much appreciated and really makes life easier for the casual or new openSUSE user. Unfortunately someplace along the line it introduced a breakage. Since Packman doesn't provide access to older versions the only way to fix this is for the user to rebuild from source - not a simple feat as you must know! (I did a system build a couple of weeks ago that worked fine from the mythtv that was available on Packman at that time, but haven't been able to reproduce those results in a new system build recently.)
The problem I'm seeing relates to ripping DVDs. Apparently the "transcode" program has been updated and it processes its arguments differently from previous versions. The "-V" argument passed in by the mythvideo plugin doesn't provide an option argument; this is now required by the current version of transcode. This problem is easily fixed by either removing the "-V" argument or providing the default option value in the mythvideo plugin. I've tried fixing it myself but ran into numerous problems rebuilding mythtv from source. I'm guessing the compile problems I'm seeing are related to the need for qt3 but openSUSE 11.1 only has qt4 available. I'm still too new to openSUSE to have found my way thru this, and there doesn't appear to be any good detailed instructions online for building mythtv under openSUSE. Would you mind sharing your build setup for rebuilding mythtv under openSUSE? Or could you fix the problem in the mythvideo plugin and release an updated package?
