MythVideo installation

Remove plugins files/subdir. Sync with CVS state on 4/22/05:

cd ~/cvs
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mythtv@cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs checkout -D "2005-04-22" mythplugins

From mythtv howto:
$ ./configure --disable-all --enable-mythvideo
$ qmake mythplugins.pro
$ make
$ su
# make install

Ran mythtv. Went to setup for video files. Set files dir to /mythtv/video/

Set player command to:
mplayer ... -monitoraspect 16:9 -vo xv -ao alsa:device=digital2c

With English audio by default:
mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device %d -fs -zoom -monitoraspect 16:9 -vo xv -ao alsa:device=hw=1.0 -alang en

Refresh video library/files list: Setup/Utilites, Video Manager [or find the setting to always display files found in the video subdir]

Note, that xvid was previously installed. See blog entry for Sunday, April 24, 2005. So everything just "worked"; at least xvid file playback.
