[mythtv] 2019-render: nvdec decoding artefacts in the editor

[Mark Kendall]

John

I've just pushed a fix for direct rendering - solves the green flashes
I was seeing and sundry issues with out of order frames.

Running through my test clips and samples this gives flawless playback
of VP9 up to 5k/30fps (probably 60fps as well but I don't have any
samples for that), HEVC 4k/60fps and H264 4k/60fps. It tries hard with
8k vp9 but runs out of memory:)

For reference, this is a GT1030 with 420.26 drivers.

I did have to adjust my audio read ahead settings to get some of these
files playing well - but that is a different issue.

The only remaining problem I see is the corruption around seeks. This
appears to only occur with interlaced H624.

The same corruption is seen when using nvdec-dec as the decoder (i.e.
copyback) and when using mythffplay - both of which are using
'vanilla' ffmpeg code with no direct rendering. A quick check with mpv
(which is using direct rendering I think, on top of ffmpeg) produces
the same issues.

So in short, this is almost certainly an FFmpeg and/or cuda issue but
I can't find any bug reports relating to it.

Regards
Mark
