mythtv-master requires a version of libvpx later than the one in the
standard el7 repos, and the script now uses a COPR build that provides
libvpx.so.5()(64bit).
gstreamer-plugins-good requires libvpx.so.1()(64bit)
mythtv does not require the gstreamer plugin, but it looks as if
removing it would take most of KDE too. This surprises me. Is there an
alternative?
A couple of options I can think of, mostly to do with changing your use of
libvpx:
1. package the newer libvpx in a way that is parallel-installable that
doesn't replace the system copy
2. corrolary to 1, link package libvpx as a static lib, and link it that
way.
3. phonon goes use gstreamer backend by default (which needs gstreamer-
plugins-good). You could try building and using the vlc backend instead
(which would allow for removing phonon-backend-gstreamer).
1 or 2 are are the better options to use if possible
