I think I saw this script already.

As I understand, mplayer writes to the terminal about its codecs in
use when playing a file. In my case it selects the same codecs when
starting from both, plain terminal window and from mythfrontend.
So in here there is no difference, at least according to the log.

Perhaps I'll try to run mplayer from mythfrontend without forcing it
to use VDPAU, maybe there will be some difference. But even if there
will - it doesn't solve my problem, as I do want to use VDPAU...
