Magic. As you say, latest from git master (reports as 6.9.0) works.
I can now drive my TV's Scart from the 9000s VGA port.

Playback isn't as smooth as I was seeing with 4.2.0, but I'm testing
6.9.0 on a completely different system to 4.2.0. I'll try 6.9.0 on
the other system next.

Thanks again for your help.
