[mythtv-users] Playback profiles and xvmc

I was trying out some playback profiles to see what worked best and I 
decided to try and create a new profile. I accidentally delected the 
CPU-- profile and then created a new simple profile using xvmc. Now when 
I try to placyback using xvmc the FE crashes/exits and I see a message 
in the log:

2008-04-04 01:27:23.048 AFD Error: Could not open codec 0xa2985d50, 
id(MPEG2VIDEO_XVMC) type(Video) aborting. reason -1
2008-04-04 01:27:23.057 NVP: Disabling Audio, params(-1,-1,-1)

I was able to use the CPU-- profile just fine and xvmc was working OK.

How do I get the CPU-- profile back? And what's the problem with the 
xvmc playback.

I'm using Mythbuntu with myth 0.21 from the backports. I have an nvidia 
7 series integrated graphics on the MB (GeForce 7050 PV / NVIDIA nForce 
630a) driving 1080p tv at 1920x1080.

The XVMC messages (in case they are of use) are:

I tried restarting X and rebooting but no luck.

Thanks
