I am using the same hardware that my 0.27 was running without any problem.

No - i just made a brand new install on a seperate SSD drive for my
frontend. Being that it's a frontend - not sure if it had any DB on it -
maybe I am wrong.

Hostname is different. I checked my playback setting. Here's what I
noticed. First - i did the "high definiton" test from the sample video that
is included - and it plays choppy.
I set the playback same as I had on my 0.27 - VDPAU slim. However, no luck.
I changed it to Auto - and still no luck.

Another issue (non-issue at this stage - will bring it up as i progress
here) is the audio. When I do test - the center channel plays on my
surround rear speaker. But I digress. The choppy video is what makes this a
show stopper here for now.

Atom ION zotac. However, like i said, I have 0.27 on another drive and it
works perfectly.  RAM - 4 Gb
