This has been an issue in earlier Myth versions as well on this
hardware, although I feel like maybe it's worse now. It might
also be worse depending on the source material frame rate.

I'm using Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Bay Trail and VAAPI on my
Liva X system and had a similar tearing problem. I fixed it by
adding a stanza to xorg.conf (actually to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf on this Gentoo system):
<br>
<br>
Section "Device"
<br>
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
<br>
Driver "intel"
<br>
Option "TearFree" "true"
<br>
EndSection
<br>
<br>
I wrote about that on the Gentoo forums at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1006786-start-25.html">https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1006786-start-25.html</a> if you
are interested in any further background. Not sure whether that
will resolve your issue but it could be worth considering.

Yep, that seems to have fixed the tearing! Thanks. At
