Thank you. Under Current Video Playback profile, I have the setting set to "VAAPI Normal" and the problem persists. I have also tried the "normal" setting, and it seems to make no difference either way.<br class="">
<br class="">
Also, below is the output of 'vainfo':<br class="">

PIP is so completely non functional that neither of the 2 pictures become watchable as soon as PIP is enabled. Somehow enabling PIP taxes the computer so hard, despite the CPU being only 20% loaded, that the video only shows a few frames per second. Audio goes away for 3 seconds at a time, only re-appears for 1/4 of a second or less, then disappears for 3 seconds again. As soon as I press V to disable PIP, the picture/audio quality returns to being fine.<br class="">
<br class="">
Can anyone confirm that PIP is working fine for them? Especially if you are using the HDHomerun Prime?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thank you<br class="">
