Hi Mark.
Long time no see.

My last attempt to run myth on a raspberry pi (which has no
Opengl acceleration under X)
immediately abort when video playback start due to using a second surface.
Same when accessing the settings.

I haven't seen such ticket in trac. If you'd be kind enough to point me to
a link.

Myth has been modified to fully support qt5 in current master.
That's the root I've taken on my attempts to run on the pi
But performance were terrible. I could even decode mp2 audio fast enough to
keep up with video.
On xbmc I suffer the same fate and only got good results when playing ac3
or dts and using pass through so no decoding is involved.
