I'm using pretty ancient hardware, a Gigabyte G41M-ES2H that has an
on-board Intel GMA X4500, so no Radeon hardware.   Up until my OS HDD died
last month, both the on-board video and the existing MythTV playback
profile worked fine under Fedora 26 and MythTV-0.27.

I tried editing my Playback profiles.  I was previously on the "High
Quality" profile, and it has one sub-profile for 1920x1080 (and greater),
and another one with no resolutions listed, presumably for the resolutions
lower than 1920x1080. I deleted that second sub-profile and removed the
resolutions limit for the 1920x1080 sub-profile.  Nothing changed -- HD
recordings play fine, but lower resolutions ones seems to crash to desktop
faster.

Here's what I have in my "High Quality" profile.

Width Range: >=1920*
Height Range: >=1080*
Video Formats: (blank)
Frame Rate Range: (blank)
Decoder: Standard
Max CPUs: 1*
Deblocking filter: (checked)
Video renderer: xv-blit
OSD rendered: softblend
OSD fade: (unchecked)*
Primary deinterlacer: linear blend
Fallback deinterlacer: linear blend
Custom filters: (blank)

* indicate values I've tried playing around with, to no effect.

Thanks for anyone who looks at this.
