1) select Experimental first  : Main Menu > Code maturity level options 
> Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers

2) this is for 2.4.27 : I hope the mentionned (NEW) is not so new and 
you will have this in 2.4.26

3) doing this will activate software MPEG decoding for any channel 
selected for live view ; this very MPEG output deing discarded in a fake 
 frame-buffer (the same applied to the FF case before, but you were'nt 
aware of it, because the FF did what it's meant to do, without 
performance impact on the server). You can add a "Pause live view" 
option in softdevice to avoid the CPU hog (many people ask for such an 
option).
