[mythtv-users] mythnetvision and flash full screen videos

i discovered a strange behavior of watching flash full screen videos in 
mythtv.

using mythnetvision to search and watch internet videos is working fine 
for search scripts like 'Movie Trailers' or 'BBC iPlayer'. mythbrowser 
is beeing displayed and the flash video gets played.
But for search scripts which are using adobe flash in full screen like 
'YouTube' or 'Dailymotion' there is only sound, but no video. it seems 
that the fullscreen flash video is played behind mythfrontend. and when 
i press ESC mythfrontend crashes.

however, by accident i discovered a strange workaround: when i'm 
connected via VNC (x11vnc) in parallel to my TV the full screen flash 
video is working!

does anybody else has some issues with watching flash full screen in 
mythtv? or probably any solution for this?

i'm using mythtv 0.27/fixes on fedora 20 x64 with latest 
flash-plugin-11.2.202.335-release.x86_64

regards, Oliver
