What operating system are you using? Are you on Jessie? It will not work
on wheezy.

For jessie as per LVR you need these dependencies
sudo apt-get install libudf0 libass5\
    libxcb-icccm4 libxcb-image0 libxcb-render-util0 libxcb-sync1
libxcb-randr0 libxcb-keysyms1\
    fonts-liberation libdate-calc-perl\
    mysql-client libexiv2-13

Did you use the command line as specified by LVR?

            QT_QPA_EGLFS_FORCE888=1 QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb\
                LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MYTHTVDIR/lib:$MYTHTVDIR/lib/mysql\
                QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$MYTHTVDIR/plugins\
                QT_QPA_FONTDIR=$MYTHTVDIR/lib/fonts\
                MYSQL_UNIX_PORT=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock\
                PYTHONPATH=$MYTHTVDIR/lib/python2.7/site-packages\
                $MYTHTVDIR/bin/mythfrontend
 
MYTHTVDIR has to be set to the directory where you extracted the tar.

I am working on a build that runs like the normal mythtv without extra
libraries and command line overrides. I can send you a link if you are
interested. It is still a work in progress but it is usable.
