Hi,

I was hoping someone else may have seen this particular issue and 
might have some ideas on how to address it...

I was working on getting my remote working with Huluplayer (which
I did) -- after playing a couple test videos from within hulu, I
dropped out of huluplayer and (after a bit) tried to play a m2ts 
(ripped blu-ray) file.  I got the "please wait" and then the 
screen froze.  Checked the mythfrontend logfile
(which was still logging stuff) and noted the following:

2010-03-29 20:41:42.074 VideoOutput: Pixel dimensions: Screen 1920x1080, window 1920x1080

2010-03-29 20:41:42.228 VDPAU Error: Failed to create output surface.

2010-03-29 20:41:42.229 VidOutVDPAU Error: Failed to initialise VDPAU


The video file I was trying to play, I have successfully played before -- additionally, I 
tried another m2ts file (after killing mythfrontend and restarting it), which returned the
same results.  I haven't tried rebooting the machine yet (that will kill my uptime!) Which
will most likely fix the playback problem.

The video card is a 8400GS with 512M of ram.  As noted in the logs, I have used vdpaubuffersize
to set buffers to 32.

My 1st guess is that hulu is grabbing video buffers and not releasing them, but that's just 
my guess...  Anyone out there see this kinda of thing, and if so -- is there a remedy?
