Then I'd guess you have a broken Playback Profile(s) in your selected 
Playback Profile group.  The easiest fix would be do either just switch 
to a never-modified-from-the-original "example" Playback Profile group 
(like Slim or VDPAU Slim)--assuming you are using a custom-created 
one--or if you're using an example group, reset them all to proper 
defaults as described at 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Playback_profiles#Default_profile_groups .  
Then, after the restart, go back through settings and choose an 
appropriate example group.

I think someone on here said something about somehow setting up a 
Playback Profile with an incompatible OSD renderer, leading to no OSD 
showing, but I can't find the reference.
