Recently I started having problems with mythfrontend, where it regularly freezes and
at times locks up the machine completely.
I tried different things without success, and finally replaced
mesa-vdpau-drivers.x86_64 17.2.4-2.fc26
with
libva-vdpau-driver.x86_64 0.7.4-19.fc26
and it seems to be stable now (early days though). I cannot be sure that this replacement
is the reason for the change in behaviour.
Do these packages provide the same api, and in general which one should I use?
I should mention that the same .ts file that locked up the frontend played without
a hitch using 'mplayer' and 'mplayer -vo vdpau' (before the change) which is why
I suspect an issue with the frontend.
The graphics card is an Nvidia GT-710 with the Nvidia driver
kmod-nvidia-4.15.17-200.fc26.x86_64.x86_64 3:390.48-1.fc26
naturally the kernel is 4.15.17-200.fc26.x86_64
The frontend video is set up with "vdpau high quality", full screen 2560x1440.
TIA
