Thanks, with the present Gentoo version I cannot watch ongoing
recordings. It just freezes and I had to restart mythfrontend.
Could you put it masked on the maintree or give directions to your
overlay. By the way, the present ebuild won't build with vaapi on
amd64. Which is not directly a problem for me, for I had it only
enabled for testing.
