Interestingly, just as a test I went back to 381.22 temporarily and
discovered that xine is in fact managing to use VDPAU on the video
that fails in MythTV. Not sure what the difference is, though xine
would be using a newer ffmpeg (media-video/ffmpeg-3.2.4). Note however
that the user who reported the same issue on that nvidia forum was
having these issues in mplayer.
