Patch removes support for external ffmpeg

Please see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/4005 for details.

Upstream decided to drop support for external ffmpeg for now. Their plan is to switch to external ffmpeg in the mid/long term.

nvidia-drivers should not be required for vdpau unless you're using VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia". VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau" provides vdpau as well.

I would suggest addressing this by checking VIDEO_CARDS within the vdpau? conditional dependency.

I should also note, XBMC no longer supports the --enable-external-libraries configure option. It's removal relates heavily to the mandatory static ffmpeg.

they've dropped support for internal ffmpeg in latest git now
Comment 4 hal 2014-05-12 17:28:56 UTC 
That'd be fine. :)

Do you mind pointing me to the commit upstream? Unfortunately I really couldn't find any information about it.
