Hmm, not working too well for me... it definitely removed the
stuttering and prebuffer pauses but the fonts look really messed up.
I assume it is something wrong in my configuration. Here is what I
see in my mythfrontend log:
Load font nonmono
Load font nonmono
<repeated many times>
yuv convert
rgb32_to_i44
yuv convert
rgb32_to_i44
<repeated many times>
non mono raster!
non mono raster!
<repeated many times>
my X session is running at 640x480 with 24bit color if that makes any
difference. Thanks for working on this, very much appreciated.
