[mythtv-users] VDPAU corruption

I have seen this for the last 6 or 7 driver revisions. I was really
hoping that 190.42 fixed it.
Basically, from what I understand on the NV Forums, is that the video
memory becomes corrupt and you must re-initialize via a reboot to get
out of it.

The one thing I have noticed is, that this seems to happen if my wife
leaves Mythfrontend up for an extended period of time (hours) -- in
pause
