Yes - definitely mythtv-vid. I should have restated the fact that you
need to recompile with opengl video support (it's a new compile time
option) and then force selection of the opengl renderer in playback by
setting UseOpenglVideo (e.g. mythfrontend --override-setting
UseOpenglVideo=1 ). The latter needs a better, permanent solution.
