I presume you mean the MythVideo interface... I just haven't mucked 
around with it much of late. My big problem right now is that every 
single movie file out of roughly 200 shows up with absolutely no 
information in the video manager, where I used to at least get the file 
name... (still investigating)

True. Though I usually stick w/the releases on my "production" system 
(the one hooked to the big-screen) and use CVS on one or more of my 
other systems. Otherwise, I end up upsetting the wife if/when I break 
stuff. :)

Yes, after a bit of further research, it was decided to leave XvMC off, 
so the only included extras are native lirc and alsa. But when they 
become available, people can use rpmbuild --rebuild --with-xvmc 
mythtv-0.12...src.rpm or something of that nature to add XvMC if they 
like. I still have to set up my system to work with native lirc, but 
native alsa works just peachy. As an added bonus, the alsafied rpms 
also work just fine on a system without alsa, using Red Hat native OSS.
