[mythtv] DVB/H.264 Video in MythTV - a couple of patches

[Mark Buechler]

Has anyone looked at playing H.264 video within a DVB stream before? Here in
the US there's a provider streaming FTA H.264 video and it would be
interesting if Myth could play the stream.

The only thing I've managed to do so far is:

--- siparser.cpp.old    2006-02-11 12:30:11.000000000 -0500

                 p.hasAudio = true;

And if you have the dvbradio patch installed you'll also need this:

--- dvbrecorder.cpp.old 2006-02-28 13:39:09.000000000 -0500

ES_TYPE_VIDEO_MPEG2)
+        if ((*es).Type == ES_TYPE_VIDEO_MPEG1 ||

+            (*es).Type == ES_TYPE_VIDEO_H264)
             videoMissing = false;

         if (_hw_decoder_option)

I assumed since MythTV uses ffmpeg then the stream would just play. I
assumed wrong. Can anyone shed more light on this and possibly point me in
the correct direction?

Thanks, Mark.
