Hi Peter,

On Raspbian OS 2017-03-02 with the primary deinterlacer set to "Line
double (HW)" in the following two playback profiles, the playback was
smooth without On Screen Display in action.  When OSD was in action,
there was a small slowness in the playback of video content.  This was
just perceptible, and for me acceptable for the few times that OSD is
activated (FFWD/REW/INFO).

Playback Profile           Deinterlacer       1080i Playback Result
------------------------   ----------------   -------------------------
OpenMAX High Quality [1]   Line double (HW)   Good smooth playback
OpenMAX Normal       [1]   Line double (HW)   Good smooth playback

[1] Edited profile to set Primary deinterlacer to "Line double (HW)".

I also tested with Raspbian OS 2016-02-09 and had the same playback
experience.


Thank you Peter for all your work to ensure that the efforts to get
MythTV working on the Raspberry Pi have not been lost, and continue to
improve.

Further a huge thank you to all the people who have contributed to
MythTV over the years.  I've been a happy MythTV user since 2011 and
appreciate the freedom provided with a home-build PVR.

Sincerely,
Curtis Gedak
