Glad you were able to fix your display problem with this build.  I
wish there were some way we could track what is getting fixed and
broken for the OSX frontend in svn.
Were you able to build 0.21-fixes without making any changes to
osx-packager.pl?  I find I have to run the script and wait for it to
die just before compiling myth.  Then I have to go into
/src/myth-svn/mythtv/configure and comment out the lines that check
(in the wrong place, I guess) for Qt and Lame libraries (they get
downloaded by osx-packager.pl into /build/lib/).  Are you able to
compile without doing this?

Also, it seems that in mythvideo, ISO file playback is now broken.  Do
you have any ISO's that you can test?
