[mythtv-users] Problems with vdpau decoding HD content

[Scott]

This is a general query to help me with my troubleshooting of a playback problem on my FE. 

I have an ASRock 330 ION loaded with Mythbuntu 10.04 and the 0.23-fixes SVN 24572. The system uses the VDPAU Normal profile and is configured for 512MB of GPU RAM in BIOS.

Playback with both recorded 720p and 1080i (OTA ATSC from a HDHR) shows seems to run into a glitch. The show starts off fine and pausing, FF/RW, and commercial skip all work fine. At some point, usually 12-30 minutes, the video starts jumping and sometimes the audio too. I see "prebuffering pause" messages logged in mythfrontend.log. 

To resolve the problem I have to reboot the system. To be sure, the following does NOT resolve the problem:

1) pause/unpause the show
2) stop/start playback again
3) exit mythfrontned and start mythfrontend again
4) exit X11 and start it again

Thoughts? Is anyone else having trouble with vdpau and HD recordings on 0.23?
