[mythtv-users] How do I use hardware MPEG decoding on my EPIA?

[Dirk Aust]

Hi,
tt' a little complicated but it works, first of all you need:

www.ivor.it for the source of libddmpeg.so and the patches for XFree86 
4.3.99.902

get the sources of XFree86 4.3.99.902 and aplly the patches as described in 
the patch packet

try to google after "24-epia" for the kernel patch, apply it and create new 
kernel.

uncommend the option in the mythtv build environment.

Best Regards,
Dirk
