Hardware:

AMD 5350 and using the built-in GPU. VDPAU's been ported so that it works
w/AMD graphics. Or at least as a framework around VAAPI. Or something. I'm
certain someone more knowledgable will probably correct me. All I know is,
selecting VDPAU works just fine for playing and MPEG2 decoding in hardware.

Really, it's a recording problem. There's a chance I don't even have the
mythtv frontend configured properly because I never ever use it, and I have
mythbuntu set up so that it doesn't even launch the mythtv frontend at
login. I recently changed pulseaudio setup so that it no longer does AC3
passthrough on kodi, but i didn't change the settings on mythfrontend, so
that might be reflected in the log.

More importantly and relevant, an affected recorded mpg file doesn't play
on other non-linux computers if i copy the file to them. In contrast,
"Working" recordings play perfectly on other devices.

It's only a problem recording on this particular PBS channel. The other PBS
channel in my town records fine. They are both on the same Clear QAM
transport/frequency/channel (501MHZ, channel 70) which is the weird thing.
So doubtful that "interference" plays a part, since wouldn't it effect both
channels equally??

Playback of all channels, whether 1080 or 720 is perfect. Even on a
low-power AMD 5350 processor, I rarely have more than 25%/core utilization,
and have no problem recording several channels simultaneously while
comflagging in real-time. I seriously doubt the source of the problem is
that the hardware is being taxed too hard recording one commercial-free PBS
channel.
