As I understand this bug report, 1) there is something wrong with faad2
caused by the livna repository, and 2) smart will load mythtv-suite
properly.  I tried to install mythtv-suite with yum --disablerepo=livna
and then successively disabling each of my repositories with no luck.
All ended needing dependency libmp4ff.so.0.  Still haven't found a
useful howto for smart.  There has to be some way to tell smart where to
find the yum repos -- it can't seem to find them itself.  Still working
on it.

BTW.  Whoever picked a common word for the name of the program, made
googling for info extra difficult.
