No video playback in .23

I upgraded to .23 and since the upgrade I dont get any video playback for recordings, livetv, or in mythvideo.

I am running the latest nvidia drivers with VDPAU.

All of my frontends display the same issue, even local on the backend. When I start a recording I see the black screen with please wait. Once in this screen the only way out is to kill the mythfrontend process (ESC does not work).

The frontend does not segfault or crash in any way.

I am not 100% convinced that it is a mythtv issue and more just a piece of software that is not being nice. Any recommendations on how to troubleshoot?

Thanks, Mike

What's in your mythfrontend log? You could launch mythfrontend from a
terminal and when it's hung, alt-tab to see the terminal output.

Do you hear sound? If you do, try "skipping forward" in the show.

Re: No video playback in .23 [In reply to]

No sound is displayed.

I see some messages like these:
2010-03-29 14:57:53.877 VDP: Ignoring profile item 51 (renderer quartz-blit is not supported w/decoder ffmpeg (supported: null,xlib,xshm,xv-blit,opengl,vdpau))
2010-03-29 14:57:53.877 VDP: Ignoring profile item 52 (renderer quartz-blit is not supported w/decoder ffmpeg (supported: null,xlib,xshm,xv-blit,opengl,vdpau))

Maybe the video profile has some options set not supported in .23???

I had a similar problem when doing some upgrades of my mythbuntu box
to the .23 code recently, but then I realized that the video card
driver had gotten hosed during the upgrade. Not sure why or how...

I reinstalled the latest nVidia driver, and all was good again.

Well there's your answer. For some reason you have the quartz-blitz set
as your renderer. Set it to either xv or vdpau in tv playback settings

I tried everything to get this to work. Remove the VDPAU config
from the frontend (did not work).

I have now wiped the database clean and started fresh, but I still have
the same issue. Here is the end of the log file.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
