Can you post a playback log (using mythfrontend -v playback). That
should help figure out what renderer is being chosen and why.
I've additionally finally figured out a workaround for the driver
problem, so if you're still stuck I can post a quick patch (if you're
compiling from source).
Regards
Mark
