[mythtv-users] Re: mplayer/xine both crash playing WMA files

[Dan Robinson]

On the DVB theme.  The 2.6.8-1.521 kernel from atrpms seems to already
have dvb modules installed.  I'm guessing these are outdated now and
I've built the latest cvs versions.  Can I simply remove the existing
ones and install my new modules?

/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/
/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/ttusb-budget
/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/ttusb-budget/dvb-ttusb-budget.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core
/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb-core.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx
/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx/bt878.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx/dvb-bt8xx.ko
