Thank you very much for taking the time and your continuous help!

Did this also happen with 0.22?

Sounds like it's finally time to update the p5-xmltv port. Didn't you
prepare a port update for it some time ago? If you have any work that can
be integrated I would like to do so.

Hm, yes that looks familiar it was because ivtv was explicitly disabled
for FreeBSD in the configure but i've checked it and the patch is there so
this needs a bit more investigation.
In the meantime i've updated the ports to MythTV 0.23 RC2 and sent all the
FreeBSD specific patches upstream. They have all been committed short after
RC2 so they will be in 0.23. The problems with proper VDPAU support have
also been addressed and with the next nvidia-driver update it should
compile and work fine.
