[mythtv] 3db436fd953d1bdc7176b05f3ea05fceccdd1d5a breaks OS X playback

[Piotr Oniszczuk]

Peter,
On OS X I have following situation:

> 3db436f : Prevent segfault when OpenGL is set on remote X11 session.
If this commit is included - playback on OS X fails

Building just 1 commit before 3db436f gives OS X playback OK.
As this 1 commit before (= af199e7) has included e9daa4e - we can conclude e9daa4e is OK for OS X.

Maybe conditional compiling of 3db436f for OS X ?

On my OS X display variable looks like this:
DISPLAY=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.j0gOiaSgXO/org.macosforge.xquartz:0

> 1. If you set ThemePainter to QT and Video display profile is set to OpenGL, can you successfully play recordings and videos? With Linux you cannot, the video is invisible, you just hear the audio and there are thousands of error messages in the log.
> 2. If you set Themepainter to OpenGL can you open the frontend remotely from another terminal using ssh and X11 forwarding? With Linux that causes a segfault.
