I've been quite on this but thought I would chime in since I am not running
mythfrontend but running openelec w/ Kodi.  I too have a liva that I have
been testing with, I would see the flashing also but I haven't had the time
to sort it out and figure out what the issues were.  I had this on the
family TV but had to put the pi2 back in service since its much more stable
and works better.

The Liva has lots of potential but their appear to still be some issues
with the Intel video, I've tried different vaapi options but never was able
to nail down the issues.  It's much faster then the PI 2 with menu's etc
but not near as polished.  I will try to spend some more time testing with
it to see if I can figure out what the issues are and see if we can make
some progress.
