I've experimented with the VDPAU playback profile but it didn't work (I
got the "Please wait..." after selecting a recording, the screen went
black, and mythfrontend locked up in need of a 'kill') so apparently this
feature isn't supported with my hardware. I don't think I've tried the
VAAPI profile so I'll definitely give that a shot.

Yes, I have that option enabled. It's under System Settings -> Desktop
Settings -> Advanced.
