Hi Mark:  I'm using el7 as a coverall for several near-clones of RedHat 
Enterprise Linux.  The box itself is on Scientific Linux 7.7 but also 
uses the EPEL and rpmfusion repos, while the build is done under F30 
using Gary B's rpm script, using CentOS instead of SL, and with libvpx 
disabled because it clashes with the version needed by the KDE-plasma 
desktop.

Kernel is Linux 4.4.200-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64, to get better tuner support.

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz
OpenGL/ES version 1.4 Mesa 18.3.4

Usually it's stable, but gurus wring their hands...

Currently the frontend setup uses:

Advanced Playback Settings:  realtime priority ticked, Audio read ahead 
100 ms, Enable AVSync2 at default 10 ms

Current  Video Playback Profile: Normal, Decoder Standard, Max CPUs 2, 
Blocking filter enabled, renderer opengl, Deinterlacers both HQ with 
boxes unticked, no custom filters.

Last night I recorded a lecture by Tim Berners-Lee on the future of the 
Web.  It seems to have been badly affected.  Ironic grin.

Thanks,

John
