Add VDPAU frontend setup.

Remove old ATI hack.

XVMC and libmpeg2 playback will be dropped in 0.25

Update plugin list.

Structure: multiple BE/FE, combined BE/FE

Backend Setup: ACPI wakeup, link to NTP. Does MBE_USER='mythtv' cause any problems?

Frontend Setup: link to NTP, LIRC. Suggest Ratpoison, XFCE.

is it required to actually start mythbackend before mythfilldatabase?

Basically as the subject says. Have been having multiple problems getting mythtv to actually work for me, but, it seems like manually invoking mythbackend is required if following the steps of the guide (and not just adding it to daemons), from exiting mythtv-setup to mythfilldatabase.

TurboSight TBS 6281 as bug

Hello User:Alad,

I saw you proposed to report my newly added section as a bug. My point in not doing it is that not all DVB cards behave like that. If a dependency to systemd-udev-settle was added by default, the booting time would be worse for everyone. If you agree, I can rewrite the section to make it more generic, not just for TBS 6281 cards.

I just wrote again the section with a cleaner solution and made it more generic.

I'm not sure of the best way to auto-start it under XDM, but we haven't had an inittab for a long time, so I marked that out-of-date. I might be able to write a modern way of doing it once I've had time to experiment. —Chowbok (talk) 00:17, 26 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
