Notes

Verismo’s VuNow allows you to stream Internet video content directly to your TV. The MediaMVP was a similar device, but was used to get content off your computer (unless you use something like MVPMC). According to Verismo, it’s simple to use and easy to install. We can find out on December 15th for $99.

Verismo’s VuNow

with the latest ffmpeg installed, I add to temporarily move the following directories in my home directory for the MythTV compilation to go smoothly:
/usr/include/libavcodec/
