[mythtv-users] Not compiled with any useable video output method

[Kenneth Emerson]

Fellow MythTV Users:

This morning I updated my git repository and upgraded to latest master for
pre0.25.  My combined FE/BE (32 bit Ubuntu Lucid) upgraded fine to schema
version 1299.  Everything seemed to work OK. I updated my other FE (which
is a 64 bit Ubuntu 11.10 system) and I cannot get the video to work. When I
try to play a recording I get the message: videooutbase.cpp:297 (Create) -
VideoOutput: Not compiled with any useable video output method.  My
configure output shows all video output modes being built with the
exception of VAAPI. I'm using the nvidia driver with VDPAU enabled. I've
even tried changing the playback profile to Normal and High Quality and I
get the same error.  I've re-installed the nvidia driver (version 190.10),
rebooted and still get the same error.  Here is the complete output from
the frontend log where it tries to start playing a video file:

Anyone have some other ideas?
