Description

When trying to switch from mythtv to mythtv-vdpau, pacman complains about all the other MythTV packages depending on mythtv, like so:

:: Replace mythtv with extra-testing/mythtv-vdpau? [Y/n]
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: morethemes: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythappletrailers: requires mythtv
:: mytharchive: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythbrowser: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythcontrols: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythflix: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythgallery: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythgame: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythmusic: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythnews: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythphone: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythsmolt: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythstream: requires mythtv
:: myththemes: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythvideo: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythweather: requires mythtv>=0.21
:: mythweb: requires mythtv>=0.21

The mythtv-vdpau package has this line in its info:
Provides : mythtv0.21
Apparently that's not enough to satisfy the dependency, though.

History

Only install mythtv-vdpau is you have a vdpau capable card. This should have been fixed w/ the latest mythtv-vdpau build.
pacman -Sy
pacman -Rd mythtv
pacman -S mythtv-vdpau

@cecil - does the mythtv-vdpau package also contain the mplayer w/ vdpau support?

Updated by cecil over 15 years ago

No. That is why mplayer-vdpau-nogui exist.

Updated by graysky over 15 years ago

Thanks... will give it a whirl. Is it safe to assume the proper way to install it is to modify your instructions above like this?

pacman -Sy
pacman -Rd mythtv mplayer
pacman -S mythtv-vdpau mplayer-vdpau-nogui

OK.. problems :)

I just did a clean install from CD of R6.00.07. Everything seemed in order. I issued the following:

Pacman brought down 4 packages including the 180.29 beta drivers. After all four came down, I got an error complaining that it couldn't replace the kernel driver because it was in use. The machine was rebooted and mythfrontend will not load. I can post logs if you want. Please let me know how you would like me to proceed.

...wonder why pacman didn't remove that automatically?

Thanks, whatever you've changed has fixed the dependency problems. I was able to install mythtv-vdpau after doing a pacman -Sy.
