had to go back to regular trunk, mythtv-vid doesn't play MKV x264 at all...

but it seems to be able to jump around, but the video freezes.
On some if you then if you jump around too much it becomes
unresponsive to the remote.
Sometimes it takes a few seconds but the video does continue, and the
video becomes jumpy afterwards even though its not using all the CPU
power.

I get the feeling I'm just going to have to wait for Daniel or Janne,
etc to care enough to look into it.

In the log i get a bunch of:
