Others have had similar issues, me included.

If it's the same problem as I had with Xv then a workaround might be to comment 
out everything in VideoOutputXv::WindowResized.

I also tried to solve it in a different way which you can see in the first post 
above.  Unfortunately that didn't work properly with the "Interlaced (2x)" 
deinterlacer since display_res->GetHeight() was less than the video height for 
some reason.

I haven't dug any deeper into it since there is a workaround available, but if 
any of the devs want logs I would be happy to provide them.
