Check the VDPAU playback profile settings by clicking on the <edit>
button.
Check any custom filters entries..The allowed keywords changed at some
point. The keywords "vdpaustudio & vdpaubuffersize " have been removed
from myth0.25 (& other words that I forget).

Start from terminal "mythfrontend -v playback" &/or check log files
in /var/log/mythtv/

If the playback problems are only with "Videos" SG then could try
creating seektables for the problem ones.
mythcommflag --video "the_filename"
