[mythtv-users] Why the PIP Limitation?

[Martin]

Hi Brent,

yes that's what I am thinking about ... using 2 instancies of xine or mplayer. 
I did this with some manual hacking around with startupkeys and manual 
starting, but no chance inside MythTV :-(

I think it is something general to development work on MythTV to be done ...

I try to give some discussion in devel list ... hope to get more responses 
about interests or not :)
