For info: Install failed:

RPMS]# yum install  noarch/*0.28-3*.rpm x86_64/*0.28-3*.rpm

Error: Package: mythtv-0.28-3.el7.x86_64 (/mythtv-0.28-3.el7.x86_64)
            Requires: mythweb = 0.28
Error: Package: mythtv-frontend-0.28-3.el7.x86_64 
(/mythtv-frontend-0.28-3.el7.x86_64)
            Requires: mesa-vdpau-drivers
  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

ISTR that it's only the metapackage that needs mythweb, which I don't use.

At present I haven't found an el7 replacement for mesa-vdpau-drivers;
and I don't have vdpau-capable hardware...

--skip-broken proposes to skip everything except mythtv-debuginfo
