All,
We are working towards 0.22-fixes as the standard in the testing repo. Please be patient as this is a big change and will surely cause issues once it is synced to the repo.
Yes, MythVantage is being worked on for 0.22. Not sure when it will be ready.
Yes, you will need to uninstall mythtv-svn packages and install mythtv packages when the sync happens. I'll post when that happens.
-Nathan

All,
I just pushed the following new packages:
nvidia-190.42-1
nvidia-utils-190.42-2
These are the new NVIDIA drivers
vdpauinfo-0.0.6-1
This is the new NVIDIA VDPAU capability query utility. It replaces the old package named vdpinfo (which needs to be removed).
libvdpau-0.3-2
This is the NVIDIA packaged VDPAU library which is now seperated from the NVIDIA drivers. This way we can compile MythTV with VDPAU support and still run on computer without NVIDIA graphics cards.
If you have an NVIDIA video card:
Code: pacman -Rd vdpinfo pacman -Syu pacman -S libvdpau vdpauinfo If you have a different brand video card: Code: pacman -Syu pacman -S libvdpau
This needs to be checked out and next is the big MythTV 0.22 switch over. Please post your comments.
-Nathan

I just tried the commands above. -Syu did no db or package updates and the next command said 'libvdpau not found'.
Is this only in -testing? I do not have that enabled (on purpose).

Yes, testing ONLY. Maybe I'll start another thread.

You need to do the pacman -Syu first (ie-follow the directions in my post). This will update your nvidia packages.

At first glance your packages and instructions seemed to have work perfectly here. Installed new nvidia drivers to 2 FE's, no issues and the libvdpau to my non-nvidia backend and things went well. Will provide more feedback later if it becomes necessary.

That's good news. So can you run mythfrontend on your non-nvidia backend now?

X works just fine on the non-vdpau backend. I can also compile mythtv with "--enable-vdpau" in configure on said backend. Previously I could not compile unless I disabled vdpau in configure.

Great! Thanks for testing that.

Nathan, I'll do this over the weekend and will report results back here.
My question is, today I helped a family member install R6 and on Monday I was planning to go to 0.22-fixes for them like I have done at home. Would the "procedure" outlined in the #1 post of this thread still hold true? Any changes because of your current work?

You will need to change the repos over to -testing, follow the #1 post and then also follow my NVIDIA post above. That should get you there.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I did do all the prior steps in your post, including pacman -Syu. My nvidia drivers were not updated in that step.
Code: [root@mbe]# pacman -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date core-testing is up to date extra-testing is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... local database is up to date
