MythTV on ARM

MythTV on ARM by koenkooi.
With some help of the MythTV people I managed to get it to build in OE and installed it on my beagleboard. Playback is slow because the ARM optimizations in FFmpeg don't get enabled, but that's fixable.

This is very impressive Koen. Should be possible to add a DVB-T USB tuner to the BeagleBoard and use it to decode MPEG-2 / MPEG-4 720p / 1080i Streams on the fly...

Which mythtv version are you building in Angstrom / bitbake?

mpeg4 720p should be doable with an optimized colour conversion algo, for 1080i we probably need help from the DSP. Mythtv 0.21-fixes can be installed using opkg, OE has recipes for mythtv svn trunk (QT4 based) as well.
