I've got mine set up with a profile using ffmpeg to decode and opengl
to render. Didn't work with any combination of settings under 0.24, is
working fine with 0.25 (although I can't playback videos...recordings
are fine, videos aren't. Haven't figured that out yet, it's fine on
all my other frontends)
