quicker than i thought it'd be to check/confirm.
liveTV: drops back to h.264/ffmpeg from h.264/vaapi codec/dec after switching livetv HD channels.
Frames decoded/free randomly varies when it first starts livetv. Seen it as low as 5/17 when it jitters. Having it around 19/2 produces smooth playback.

help any?
