[mythtv-users] Need MPEG recorder, but compiled without MPEG support! (gentoo 0.20_p11244)

[roger]

Ok all of you having this problem (and using gentoo ;-)

I'm guessing this is an issue with the USE flags on gentoo.

We may need to enable ivtv manually -- even though we might not need the
ivtv package (such as me using pvrusb2)

I'm seeing, if the ivtv USE flag is not used, the mythtv-0.20 ebuild
will disable ivtv support.

Within the mythtv-0.20 source, the configure's option shows
"--disable-ivtv disable ivtv support (PVR-x50).  I'm guessing at this
point, if ivtv support is disabled at configure time for mythtv-0.20,
this also disables MPEG2 support?

So, solution is, hack the mythtv-0.20 ebuild and delete the line showing
"use ivtv || myconf="${myconf} --disable-ivtv"" and things should work!

Oh, and if this is the solution, can somebody please take the time and
file a bug for mythtv-0.20 on bugs.gentoo.org ??
