[mythtv] V4L2 API?

[Martin Møller]

Hi again.

There has been some heavy debate on the video4linux mailinglist about 
deprecating V4L1 entirely and dropping the v4l1-compat module, maybe as soon 
as at the end of this year. It is not etched in stone at this point, but 
should this happen, how would it affect MythTV? I see some V4L2 headers in 
the tree but are they ever used? Looks like most things run V4L1...

V4L2 would also give more control for us PAL users as for instance I ought to 
be able to select the PAL-BG standard directly in MythTV shortly afterwards 
in stead of having to call v4lctl setnorm pal-bg all the time, which would be 
*very* nice...

I'm afraid I don't have much knowledgde of either API, so this is mostly a 
heads up message.

/Martin.
