We may be able to, I just having figured out how to yet. When I try to
use that version the transcode build fails because of missing headers
which the new package does not provide. If someone knows a way around
that then we may be back in business.
Or do we just build transcode without v4l support?
For mythtv, I don't think its critical. The transcode bits are only used optionally,
and
they operate on already-recorded files, not directly on v4l devices. So you could
just build without v4l support and not miss out on much of anything, as far as mythtv
is concerned.
