It is a 9400GS chipset, I believe, and it should be using VDPAU, but I
did have some issues with getting that working for some reason, but
I'm pretty sure it does as playing HD material it only runs at around
2-3% CPU usage. I can get you more detailed info tomorrow if you'd
like. Having said that, I think the backend will deadlock just by
scheduling something via Mythweb without even involving the frontend.
I also know that once during testing I hadn't started the slave, so I
had only the MBE running, and while viewing a recording on the
frontend all I did was start the slave and it instantly deadlocked the
master.
