[mythtv-users] 0.26 and Intel graphics problems

[Fredrik Lingvall]

Hi all,

I have this setup:

* Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
* Motherboard: ASUS P8H77-M
* Sony Bravia TV via HDMI

I'm on a Gentoo x86-64 system using:

[~] x11-libs/libva-1.1.0  USE="X opengl -egl -wayland" 
VIDEO_CARDS="intel -dummy -fglrx -nvidia"

The MythTV ebuild and patches are from here: 
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437140 (I made my own ebuild for 
the plugins based on the 0.25 plugins ebuild)

I have problems with getting the graphics to work properly in 0.26. This is a summary.

* VAAPI does not work unless I switch from the Qt renderer to OpenGL (in the frontend) but then I don't see any channel icons and time tables in the schedule (top and left side headings are missing).

* I get a clearly visible tearing, both using VAAPI and Xvideo, in the upper part of the screen when there is a lot of panning in the video.

* HD TV content is stuttering severly

Does anyone have the Intel graphics working properly in 0.26?
