Jap. This is my case.

Some plugins for myth (like video, dvd) which use mplayer are working well for me with using -vo gl2 switch.
Is there a chance to compile mythtv with opengl support instead of xv ?
I couldn't find an advice in the documentation or in settings.pro...
Any hints are strongly welcome....
 
Thanks! Oliver
