different combinations, ie. xvMC, libmpeg2, chromakey etc, but no
improvement on the fading. Have not compiled VDPAU support at all... Also
the tuning-in in general takes 5-6 secs, which is somewhat frustrating. The
OSD comes first on a black background, stays for a few seconds. Then, when
it should fade,  the channel is tuned in and the OSD vanishes without
fading...

..but, I should probably continue this discussion on another forum.

Just for added info, here's the logs from the frondend, though on normal
log-level. It gives the timeline when going from main menu to watching TV:
