I just got myth installed on my Epia box following Jarod's guide. However,
I'm not using hardware MPEG-2 acceleration yet.
I read that the newest CVS version of myth has support for the xvmc decoder
written by the Unichrome project. So, if I can get xvmc working on my
machine, I would definitely like to use it with myth.
To my question: How can I go from the RPM version of mythtv to the CVS
version? I've compiled other programs from tarballs before, so that's not too
scary, but I am a little worried about overwriting the RPM version or possibly
messing up the RPM database.
Do I uninstall the RPM first, then install the CVS version? How do I
uninstall an RPM?
Any suggestions would be welcome!
Micah
