This probably has nothing to do with  your issue, but I thought it might 
be worth mentioning.  Vdpau wouldn't work for me in Ubuntu 16.04 because 
of a gpu-manager error reported in syslog (....modprobe.d is not a 
file).  I switched the mythfrontend video config from vdpau to High 
Quality to get-around until I figure it out.
