[mythtv-users] No AAC Audio with Internal Player

[Josh Mastronarde]

Okay, I've made some progress -- I can play an h.264 video+AAC audio
file in myth on a frontend installed in a Virtualbox VM (under Vista;
it's a bit jerky to try and watch full screen, but makes for a good
test system I can mess with).  Compiling myth isn't as hard as it
might seem -- I follow the steps at:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Installing_MythTV_SVN_on_Fedora

With the following changes:

1)  Follow the "Note" on getting 0.21-fixes instead of trunk from svn
(I got version 20035 this evening)

2)  Add "--enable-libfaad" to the ./configure command (it doesn't show
up in the help, but other wiki/google pages pointed to it, and you can
find it in the configure file itself.  Don't add --enable-libfaac or
--enable-libfaadbin; I think the latter was the cause of my
segfaults).  The yum steps in the wiki page install "faad2" and
"faad2-devel"

After installing, I still don't see any mention of faad in
"mythfrontend --version", but I replaced a show with an mp4
w/h.264+AAC file, and it plays with audio.

Next step will be to clean up and compile on the main FE+BE system and
check it there.
