Well...I think I am finally on to something. I did more testing with my one frontend that doesnt have to have VDPAU running I still get errors. I started wondering if it was signal issues again. Looking at my Prime im nearly 100% across the board. The for what ever reason I looked at my backends ethernet interfaces. upon running ifconfig I see:<br>

Interrupt:18 Base address:0x2000 <br><br>Im dropping ALOT of packets on the RX side of my network card. Taking a looking at the physical switch I see not errors. Being my backend is VM on ESXi right now I am upgradeing VMware tools and installing a new NIC that is VMXNET3. Hopefully I can get rid of the dropped packets and that will fix all the errors in the video!<br>
