Description Stephen Dolan 2006-10-02 06:10:26 UTC 
The mythvideo ebuild as of mythtv version 0.19 has included mplayer as a dependency. I personally prefer to use xine rather than mplayer, so I think the ebuild should be modified to depend on either xine OR mplayer

Fixed.
Comment 2 Robert Lippmann 2006-10-05 23:24:06 UTC 
not to be a pain, but doesn't mythvideo as of either 0.19 or 0.20 use an internal player, so it should technically depend on neither mplayer nor xine.

No. It still uses external players. See the link: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythVideo
Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-06 05:54:05 UTC 
ok well it doesn't really explain that fully. It doesn't support all formats properly. It only supports some formats. I don't know where it says it but from the code I know it's true.

MythDVD has a new internal player, not MythVideo. The MythDVD internal player supports DVD menus. A usually lacking or buggy feature of mplayer.
